This is a stunning dress from the very late 1940s or very early 1950s by Richard Grossmark, London. The fabric is very soft taffeta in a beautiful rouge color. It has a precious design and impeccable tailoring. It closes with a side metal zipper.

Condition: Unfortunately, she has several flaws, please refer to the photos to see them in detail. Note this dress is not wearable as it is right now and we think more in someone who wants to use it for theater, atrezzo or to get the pattern out of it.
Several holes in the back-waist area, left armpit and bottom. The skirt has some stains though they are not very clear in the photos (this color is terrible when it comes to make photos of details). Some small parts of the armpit seams and the seam that goes from the zipper to the armpit need to be sewn.
