TAGGED TAFFETA
Cissy\'s crisp French blue taffeta dress has figure eight sleeves, a corsage of forget-me-nots at the waist, and an expansive skirt that swirls to more than a full circle.
In fantastic condition. No stains, no holes, no rips, no odors.
A characteristic of blue dye of the era, especially when in taffeta or satin, is oxidation. This is inevitable and is not from exposure to sun or pollutants, but because the indigo was from organic sources. Blue dye is now made using synthetic indigo. Cissy\'s dress color, therefore, has surely altered from it\'s original hue. The change is so even that it is not distracting AT ALL, and the interior of gathers and reverse side of the taffeta is the same shade.Variation seen in these photos is from light on the reflective surface. Owned and appreciated by an experienced, discriminating collector.The stock number 21-50 indicates the dress was probably created in 1957. 1955 and 1956 numbers begin with \"20\", and 1958 numbers begin with \"22\". The forget-me-nots are missing from the sleeves, but the painted milliners\' staples are still there. A bouquet of vintage forget-me-nots of exactly the right size and fiber content is included. The next collector can simply slip the wire stem through the staples. Alexander boxed dresses always came with a hanger like this, and it\'s included, too.Tagged in the back inside skirt seam, as shown. The bodice is fully lined with blue organdy. The back closes with four sets of snaps -- square means they can be machine-applied.+++++QUESTIONS ALWAYS WELCOME
