Description: From a local estate auction: an Emma Domb formal dress from the late 1960s. This is a short formal dress made of lace over a taffeta lining; it has mellowed to a pale cream color. This has a sleeveless bodice with a straight neckline in the front, held up by double spaghetti straps that loop at the top; the back is cut deeper than the front. At the sides there is hidden boning along the side seams to ensure a smooth look. The waist is nipped in and defined with a row of piping, and the waist has a shallow V in front and back. Below the waist the skirt is gathered and draped for a tulip look - there is a tulle underlayer between the lace and taffeta, and the taffeta is cut narrower than the lace so that the lace floats over it. In back there's a 14" zipper and snaps below the waist - the plastic zipper helps date it to the late 1960s. There is no size tag in this, so please check the measurements below. I estimate it as a size 0 to 2. measurements, all taken with the garment lying flat:5" strap length in front16" across the front at underarms12" across the front at waist~20" across the front at hip level27" across the front at hem of lace12.5" length from front top to waist8.5" length from back top to waist24.5" skirt length This was made by a valued designer and it has lots of great tailoring, like the way the large lace scallops are used at the top and hem. The bodice has deep darts forming a V at the waist for a very flattering look. It is in beautiful condition. It has been freshly cleaned and I found it to be in excellent shape with no real issues except a bit of damage to the lace scallops at the hem in 3 places, all shown in the last 3 photos. It would make a pretty wedding dress or formal gown.
