50s 60s Yellow Chiffon and Taffeta Full Skirt Party Dress Wedding Dress Ruched Waist

DESCRIPTION: This head-turning party dress, ca. 1950s/early 60s, would make a great wedding dress, too. The wide scooped neck has pearl-beaded and sequined floral trim. Dress body is pastel yellow taffeta with a nylon chiffon overlay that has a stiffened hem to maintain its shape. The skirt has a layer of ruffled tulle in between the overskirt and the underskirt, forming a built-in crinoline. Deep ruched waistline is about 6", running from just under the bust to the waist. Metal zipper in back. The bodice is a mid-weight taffeta that feels like rayon, nd the skirt is a thinner, acetate lining taffeta. Additional crinolines can be worn under the skirt. Photo #1 shows dress with an added crinoline; rest of photos show dress just with built-in crinni. No labels present. Note that the photos were originally taken against a darker background, so if you see some dark areas in the skirt, it's the backdrop showing through--not in the dress. SIZE: Unlabeled. Estimated at a modern 4, possibly d
