This vintage Loralie Original sweetheart black and pink roses and lace festoons taffeta evening gown is the most beautiful evening gown that I have ever seen and I have seen a lot in my 25 years of selling vintage clothing and lingerie.  I love the color combination of black and pink and it is outstanding in this vintage evening gown. 

This is definitely a "Gone with the Wind" Ball Gown!  The sweetheart bodice is composed of taffeta with a wide black lace ruffle. This is a heavy dress as there is a lot of fabric in it. There are numerous draped festoons front and back on the dress in panels of black taffeta as well as pink and green roses on black taffeta for a beautiful look.  There is 3-3/4” wide lace dripping off all of the festoons. One side of the dress is raised higher than the other side so a pretty leg will be visible. 

Underneath the draped festoon layer is another voluminous layer of draped 12” lace ruffles with a heavy black cotton lining under them which adds to the weight and volume of the evening gown.  On the hem of the lining, there is more lace for a very feminine look.  The gown was photographed with a hoop crinoline but also looks beautiful without it. 

This type of evening gowns were very expensive even when they were new and cost about $500 - $700 many years ago.  There is a long zipper in back with hooks and eyes to secure it.  

Just an absolutely gorgeous vintage sweetheart evening gown or prom dress adorned with fabulous festoons and lace by Loralie Original.
