LAVENDER COCKTAIL OR PARTY DRESS SIZE 12-14, VINTAGE 50'S-60'S ORIGINAL

Very good condition.
Beautifully made, the neck detail in particular isn't seen today. Tiny hem. Room for a crinoline underneath if a full skirt is desired.
I have kept it for decades hoping to fit back into it again. No such luck of course.
Fabric all man made, the fabric rustles when moved. Does that sound like taffeta to you? The white neck detail is very fine sheer gauze. I don't know what either of the fabrics are called.
Lined upper bodice.
Metal zip at back.

Measurements [as best as I can manage.]:
Armholes 46cm circumference.
Waist 88cm circumference.
Back between base of armpits 48cm
Front between base of armpits 52cm
Skirt 72cm long.
Zip neck to waist 42cm. Zip itself is much longer.
Label says 16, but it is very definitely smaller than that. [unreadable maker]

Pick up from central Nelson, at the top of Collingwood St.

FRENCH STYLE 3-4 SEATER SOFA & ARMCHAIR carved legs & metal studs [needs re-upholstering]

Purchased in Europe, but now relegated to the garage. Rescue this lovely suite and breathe new life into it. Hence some photos are of the whole lounge and others taken in storage.

Comfortable to sit, lounge or lie on, it has been used as a spare bed when needed as well. The first image of the lounge, shows the edge of the lounge suite, but without its cushions for some odd reason. They are available as well and included in the price.

Measurements:
Chair: H 82cm; W 75cm; D 80cm
Sofa: L 2metres; D 80cm; H 82cm. 3 cushions, widths are 52cm at each end and 62cm in the middle.

Elegantly restrained carved legs. Good for a shabby chic finish or french provincial interior.

Interior upholstery still in good condition, made with durable materials, but the velour on the fabric has worn off. The base fabric is still strong and sturdy. The upholstery is a draylon or man made equivalent to look like velvet. The armchair is in better condition. The fabric is threadbare along the back top of the sofa and on the arm. There is a dark stain on the inside of one arm. We don't smoke but had a lap dog at the time. It doesn't smell.

Pick up in central Nelson at the top of Collingwood St.
