And so it hung waiting for me to decide what to do with it. A couple weeks ago I decided it was time- cut the blue dyed piece off the bottom, pinned up the dress and got to work. As time allowed of course. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow, she is a cocktail length dress with matching bolero jacket and I also made a little hat and rosette brooch from some of the dyed piece! Forgot to put the brooch on for pics, so it is shown separately. The dress was likely hand made of gorgeous Chinese embroidered silk and lined in buckram. Back metal zipper, hook and eye behind neck on halter bodice. I'm not going to say my hand sewing is as good as a seamstress could do on the hem (inside) but I think it looks pretty good! Small but so pretty!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003edress- 34\" bust, 24\" waist, 50\" hips, 16\" bodice, 45\" long\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ejacket- 36\" bust, 14\" long, 24\" sleeves\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ehat is wired to perch on head, one size\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"hand made","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42651488059479,"sku":null,"price":245.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0258\/4925\/files\/halters.jpg?v=1774821652","url":"https:\/\/dorotheas-closet-vintage.myshopify.com\/products\/chinese-embroidered-silk-halter-dress-and-jacket-with-hat-and-brooch-circa-1950s","provider":"Dorothea's Closet Vintage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
