Chartreuse Chiffon Gown, XS
Incredible chartreuse gown by Jean of California. This dress features a gathered bust with a high v neckline, angled wide straps, and a fluttery sheer chiffon skirt. Hidden back zipper closure. The creasing around the waist in the photos due are due to poor fit (model is a Size S/M), this dress would lay flat and smooth beneath the chiffon on someone the proper size. This piece has no fiber contents label, but based on texture and construction, the shell is likely 100% silk, and the lining is rayon or acetate.
This dress is being sold in As Is condition with flaws. There are a few small tears at the chiffon, one along the bottom hem has been sealed with fabric glue by a previous owner. There is some mild discoloration along the bottom hem, and a few very faint spots on the shell. Strap has some fraying on one side. These flaws are only visible upon inspection, not noticeable when the dress is being worn. Please see product photos for details. This is a very special dress with lots of life left, and is priced to reflect condition.
