Vintage 1940's Burlesque Wrap Dress Costume

Designed especially for a showgirl who was famous in the Midwest, this Burlesque costume is confirmed to be one-of-a-kind. It was her outer garment, or robe, as she performed her Burlesque act.

Adorned with breathtaking sunset-colored ruffles, it looks like you're on fire as you walk and the dress moves. Wear this piece to a masquerade ball, black-tie gala, or your own wedding. Or preserve and showcase this remarkable piece of history in a glass box.

Lovingly Restored: This piece was filthy and falling apart when we found it in a basement in the Midwest. We cleaned this piece 3 times, but there is still some staining on the underside of the back hem from the years of the performer dragging it around a stage. There's history in those stains! All ruffles have been hand sewn back on, and seams have been replaced or reinforced by machine.
