Reproduction of Cissy's 1957 "Taffeta with Polka Dots Shirtwaist Dress" in Red
Welcome!
Today I’m offering a repro Cissy dress. It is made from a pattern of her original 1957 Taffeta with Polka Dot shirtwaist dress, this one is made with red silk taffeta.
Bodice and skirt are made with a rich geranium red silk taffeta that is very crisp! Bodice is lined with vintage red cotton organdy. Closes in back with 4 vintage square snaps (nabbed about a thousand vintage snaps I’ll be using for sometime now!) The cuffed sleeves, collar and bow are made with older (70’s-80’s or so) semi sheer white cotton with flocked red dots. The skirt is about 54” around with 2” hand sewn blind hem and is about 7-3/4” in length.
Note- The taffeta is crisp and holds fullness ok without a slip. But if you like that huge flare a slip is recommended. It is shown with a slip under skirt in all photos except last #7-it is shown without slip. Slip is not included.
Listing is for dress only. Doll, shoes and props not included.
Ships USPS Ground Advantage within 2 days of payment.. Shipping is always FREE! (Note on shipping, I do not ship Saturday or Sunday - Post Office is not open and I do not have pick up) You will always receive a tracking number within 24 hours.
