Description: Christmas at Greenacres "It was the most fantastic Christmas tree anyone had ever seen. Rising at one end of the garden room at least 60 feet in the air, like "some great Athena in a Greek temple.” This “Athena" was bedecked with a mass of colored baubles, 5000 in all, some as big as pumpkins. Greenacres, Harold Lloyd's 44 room mansion was the “hottest ticket in town” come the holidays. And since you knew that nobody in their right mind could compete with the surroundings, you were smart enough not to try. All you needed was: The perfect drape. The perfect velvet. The perfect cut. Say hello to Clark, he's just coming over with the perfect martini. Isn't that Colbert and Garbo looking lovely, but not nearly as lovely as you? Velvet Evening Dress (No. 2503). True to the 1930s original. Simple front and back neck line, with that back action slightly lower. Bias cut has never been improved upon for that impeccable way it suggests your curves without giving them away. Does Lubitsch really want to cast you and his next movie? Women's size 14. Color: Ruby Red" - J Peterman Owner's Manual Marked a Size 14 (and somewhat adaptable in sizing, in my opinion), it measures: Bust to 40-42, Waist to 36-40, Hips are full to 44, Total Length from Shoulder 62 (this bias cut length will shorten when on a body), Hem Sweep is 70. Bagged Shipping Weight in 2 pound, 2 ounces. A note regarding vintage clothing: it is rarely perfect. It has history, was, most likely, lovingly worn and cared for and endured far more years than most of us - in most cases 70 to 100 plus years. We try to detail every imperfection, but some seam separations, discoloring and stains may escape us; however we strive to repair and clean these wonderful designs from the 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s ( I rarely dabble in post 1970 clothing). If you want perfect, I suggest you look elsewhere for newer clothing. If you want wonderful echoes of past designs and their attention to detail, we may have items that will appeal to you. Most of our listings, if not new, are repaired or mended to the best of our abilities and noted within the description. Most vintage items are professionally dry cleaned or laundered by an eco-friendly green on premises cleaner. As a result, listings prices often reflect this worthwhile investment in these garments. Their history warrants nothing less. Combining shipping charges is always our pleasure. With multiple wins or purchases, please await an invoice reflecting your discounted shipping. Excessive shipping charge overage will be refunded to buyer. Shipping calculations, I've found, are seldom correct. Sold AS IS with No Returns.
