Madame Alexander Opera Gown and Slip for Cissy Doll Excellent Vintage Condition
Posted by in madame
Here for your consideration is the Madame Alexander opera gown introduced in 1957. It is in beautiful condition with only very minor issues noted below. Also included is the powder blue taffeta slip. The gown is a lace print on heavy faille. It is sleeveless with a plunging “v” neckline and a very full skirt. Yards of fabric must have been used to construct these gowns. Hard to imagine that being repeated in today’s economy. Anyway, the gown has an attached blue velvet sash accented with pink and blue roses. In the back, the gown closes with four snaps. The “Cissy” tag is sewn into a seam on the inside. I have to be very picky here to find fault with this garment. The sash may be faded a bit but it’s hard to tell without seeing a “new” one to compare it to. One half of the lowest snap is coming loose. Also, there is a faint pink mark near the third snap. That’s pretty much it. It’s a lovely garment! The light blue taffeta slip has a gathered tulle ruffle around the bottom. It has not fared quite as well as the gown. The elastic has stretched out at the waist and there are places where the taffeta has pulled away from the elastic. There are a few faint spots on the slip but I could not get them to show up in the photo. Please ask any questions you may have in case I missed something important to you.
