Lovely iconic early 50's dressy day dress, with a long string of rhinestone buttons down the front. They button easily, but do take time because there are so many! There is a loop type closure for the buttons. Snap at top underneath the bow.
The belt is shown separately, because I located it after taking the dress photos. Belt in good condition also.
This pretty "orange dreamsicle" colored dress came from a large local vintage clothing estate collection.
The full skirt and rhinestones give it a rockabilly type flair. It has iconic 50's deep pockets.
The label is from Virginia Spears. It is from the early 1950's. The fabric is a synthetic, light, type fabric, mostly likely rayon, or possibly a rayon/cotton blend. There are thread type side loops for the belt. Back of the belt is marked with the Good Housekeeping Seal that was changed to this type label in 1941 and used for quite some time.
There is light wear, but not much. No size tag, only the designer's tag. Measurements are - Across the waist is approx 12.5 inches. The belt measures approx the same across, opened to widest hole. Length from waist to bottom is approx 29.5 inches. From bottom of collar to waist is approx 15.5 inches. Underarm to underarm across the front is approx 17 inches.
