A very pretty feminine dress, circa late 1930s into early 1940s when Gone With The Wind was a major cultural phenomenon. The bodice is princess seamed with a downward pointing basque waistline. The bust are is tightly ruched in the center, and the sweetheart neckline is edged in a narrow ruffle. Uncuffed sleeves are puffed at the shoulder and ruched from shoulder to hem for extra oomph. The skirt has three tiers for that ballgown look - a long crinoline underneath would increase the drama. 

SIZE: No size label, but I would estimate medium.

FABRIC/COLORS: A soft shade of rose pink taffeta that gives out that delicious rustling sound with movement. 

TAGS: No tags except for a dry cleaners tag.

CLOSURES: Side seam metal zipper

CONDITION: I found three small water marks on the left side of the front skirt - see closeup. They are subtle, given the skirt gathers. If you want them gone, I recommend dry cleaning - wet cleaning on this kind of fabric is too risky IMO. I also see a few grayish marks near the hemline - see closeup photo for worst area I found. No other issues noted - no holes or tears or odors.
