Handmade dress is a perfect vision from the 1950s. Pink net over pink nylon taffeta with a ruched bodice and full skirt. Glove sewn at waist could be removed but it is a detail from the times. Dried flowers are featured on the glove and sewn into the cinderella ruffles on the skirt. Pink satin ribbon belt. Measures 30-32” bust, 24-25” waist, full hips, about 16” from the top of the spaghetti strap to the waist, and 14” across back. Excellent condition. SOLD Select Option Purchase: click search  1950s         detailed view Marilyn Monroe Dress Stunning, handmade dress features detailed french blue lace over flesh-colored nylon taffeta and net lining. V-neck in front and back. Measures B=34”; W=varies, see below; H=full, length from waist to hem about 27’; across back from 14-15”; and probably about 16.5” from “shoulder” to waist. There’s a bit of give and take with the measurements because of the wide cummerbund treatment at the waist. At the sides, the cummerbund is about 4.5". In the middle, it's about 5". The waist measurement at the bottom of the cummerbund is about 24" and at the top, about 27". Back metal zipper is about 9” long. Good condition, some tears of the lace on the bodice, one about 1.25” across in the back and some under the arms. One tear under the right arm probably should be repaired. There's about a half-inch tear on the front of the skirt below the waist. The good news is that there’s netting under the lace so the tears aren’t deadly. Minor small stains on the lining. Price reflects condition. Not to worry, though, because the dress is so beautiful that it is easy to overlook its flaws.

In red, green, black, and “silver.” Retro tablecloth measures roughly 5’ by 8’. Looks like it’s from the 1950s or 1960s. Excellent shape with a couple of mildly yellowed spots. This baby is clean. Of course, if you only use it once or twice a year, it will stay clean. The background is a much whiter white than shown, and there are reindeer and other patterns in the center.
