    Hello everyone! I am in search of a 50s tulle gown to wear to my prom. I know it's a bit early, but with vintage you never know when the perfect dress may make an appearance. I am happy to take any and all suggestions; my only requirements are that the dress should be floor length (I'm not quite 5'4", so maybe 50+"), and that the waist measurement should be at least 26" unless there's seam allowance to let it out. The pictured dresses are my favorites, so similar gowns to those would be ideal, but I really am open to anything you think might work! Thank you in advance!

    Are you averse to white? I have a very pretty one with a sequinned ruched bodice that was clearly a prom or debutante dress.

    Not necessarily, I would love to see it! Thank you!
     
  6. I will be listing this dress in the next day or so. The waist is 27":

    Wow, that's incredible! White would not have been my first choice, but I love that gown! Thanks

    il_fullxfull.538327853_ank4.jpg This is also one of my favorites, and is on my list of potential dresses. Does anyone have anything similar to this one (or the others)?

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    I have these. The second isn't all tulle, however.

    Here's mine at last, please PM me if you are interested as it is not currently listed. The bodice is boned so the straps are not strictly necessary, just supportive. All the tulle is scattered with trios of a/b coated cup sequins.

    Thank you for your help! It is certainly beautiful! I'm not convinced about white, but I so appreciate your offer!

    Based on what I wore, many of the dresses were not long in the mid-fifties.

    Unfortunately, I think that's why I'm having such a hard time finding a full length one ;) Maybe I will eventually settle for tea length after all, though I'm still hoping for full length!
