Lovely Plus Size XXL Black with Pink Raspberries Print Rayon Dress - Smocked Waistline - Flutter Sleeves

A wonderful plus size (size tag missing, but approx XXL) raspberry print soft rayon and viscose summer dress with short sleeves and a full skirt; smocked stretchy waistline. So soft and pretty with a nostalgic feeling---a perfect vintage tea or garden party dress, or even a summer wedding dress or to wear to events like the Gatsby Summer Afternoon. Rayon is my own personal favorite fabric to wear in the warmer months--it's just so comfortable. Great condition and freshly cleaned. From Modcloth. The deep pink raspberry print on black is just gorgeous, and this could be "dressed up" with jewelry, a belt and other accessories.

IMPORTANT: PLEASE, please be sure to read ALL of the description especially the measurements and condition, and examine ALL the photos, BEFORE asking questions; and do be absolutely positive this piece will fit your requirements, as there are no refunds or returns. I'm a degreed and experienced textile scientist/antique garment restorer and seamstress, and I very, very carefully note any and all condition issues or repairs to every piece of antique/vintage clothing that I'm selling, so I can't stress enough that even if they're in pristine condition, remember they are all decades old and NOT new clothing, so if you desire modern perfection please don't purchase vintage! I don't do layaways or take offers, so please don't ask, thank you. Jewelry/accessories/props in photos are not included and not for sale.

I love antique and vintage clothing and have collected it for years, as well as having a longtime design career including doing costume & restoration work for major movie studios and museums....I've translated that love to my own contemporary creations as well as now offering some choice pieces of my extremely large collection of vintage and antique beauties! I'm meticulous about clothing in general so I make quite sure that every piece of vintage clothing I sell is clean, fresh, pressed and in excellent wearable condition---I do not use any fragranced or heavily-chemical products in caring for/cleaning garments and they are carefully stored in climate-controlled closets at all times except for when I am photographing them for listings. This is a NON SMOKING environment and always has been--I do not sell anything that has any kind of odor, nor do I ship clothing stuffed into shipping bags; I use new USPS boxes ONLY and carefully fold/wrap everything in new tissue paper.

Measurements of this wonderful dress are as follows (no size tag but I estimate an XXL):
Bust: dress measures 50"; wearer should be at least 1-2 inches less than this in body measurement.
Elastic waist measurement is 38" unstretched and stretches to 50". This dress slips on over the head.
Length is 48" from shoulder to hem. Clipped onto my size 6/8 mannequin at the back to take these photos, because my mannequin is MUCH too small for it--it's approx a size 18 and could possibly fit higher (however it's meant to be a blousy, loose fitting style), but please check measurements to be sure as there are no returns!
Condition: Excellent, no stains, spots or rips/holes, freshly cleaned, I cannot find any issues.
Tag is "Modcloth"; no size tag; this is half rayon and half viscose.

Please make sure this will suit you as to measurements and style before you purchase; I don't do alterations or accept returns.....Also, please be sure to read my shop policies/shipping info in full before you purchase (click on "policies" on my main shop page).
PLEASE NOTE I DO NOT SELL OR SHIP TO CHINA, ASIA, RUSSIA, AFRICA, ITALY & several other areas. Do not attempt to circumvent this by using a freight forwarder as your order will be CANCELED.
