Ok, here is that dress again. It has been steamed twice and I still cannot get all the wrinkles/creases out! I was able to perk up the roses - thanks all for the advice with the steamer and the tweezers. The other thing...it does not fit on my dress form so I had to resort to the hanging form (or "Booby Girl", as my kids refer to her ;)) I tried to finagle a back shot...but it just looks stupid. The dress is in awesome condition....except for the obvious need for professional steaming/pressing. So....question #1 - Some said it was 50's - some 60's last time I posted it. Should I just list as a cusp (late 50's/early 60's)? Question #2 - Do you think these pics are adequate? I really love this dress and think it will do well....but I have been messing with it for days!! Would you keep working on them or use these? (Just realized they need to be bigger...easily fixed ) Thanks guys....this one is going to make me crazy!
Wow! What a terrific dress! Very unique. I'm sure you will find a buyer. If steaming would not get rid of the wrinkles, you could try ironing on low heat (but it would be a good idea not to iron directly on the fabric--place a clean white piece of fabric between the dress and the iron). Or, if you are willing to make the investment, seek out an expert cleaner. Good luck!
Christine, the roses came up wonderfully! I would cusp it, and I think the pics are great! The dress is lovely and shows very well. Sue
Christine - Stop torturing yourself over the pics, they show the dress beautifully! Any advice I'd offer re: the date would be a shot in the dark, so I'll refrain. It's such a gorgeous dress! I hope to see tiny fairy Princesses from all over the world fighting over it Carolyn
Thank you for all your advice...I went with late 50s/early 60s and left the pics. Keep your fingers crossed for me! <i> I hope to see tiny fairy Princesses from all over the world fighting over it </i> lol I just added a subtitle about 1/2 hour before I saw this (taking advantage of that last minute 5cent deal!) ....it says "Pretty in Pink Precious Princess Party Dress!"
