Vintage 50s Stage Costume Scarlet Off-Shoulder Nylon Maxi Dress Handmade Size XS/S
100% Nylon Tricot supports
Unknown exterior fabric
Excellent used condition
Measures ~XS/S
The color is warm tomato red
This unique mystery dress is so unusual! Unbranded, but labeled nylon tricot, made with pinking shears (zig-zag sawtooth edges), boning, & non-standard cup supports.
I think this was likely a mid-century handmade stage costume - maybe for Guys & Dolls or Brigadoon. 😊
Hong Kong's manufacturing rise was post-WWII & Chinese Communist takeover. And few companies likely used pinking by then, but they are great for quick construction!
