MISS REVLON DOLL VT-18-"THERE SHE IS"-OUTFIT ONLY
PLEASE READ THIS IN IT'S ENTIRETY!!! - USA BIDDERS ONLY!!! - IF YOU BID AND YOUR ADDRESS IS AN OVERSEAS ONE I WILL CANCEL YOUR BID-NO EXCEPTIONS!!!- THIS AUCTION IS FOR THE VINTAGE GOWN AND VINTAGE PANTIES (NOT SHOWN) ONLY. MISS REVLON VT-18 DOLL, DOLL STAND, EARRINGS, SHOES, RHINESTONE TIARA AND BACKGROUND PROPS ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THIS AUCTION. WHAT ATLANTIC CITY JUDGE WOULDN'T CAST HIS OR HER VOTE FOR MISS REVLON TO WEAR THE CROWN? IN KEEPING WITH THE ELEGANT WHITE COTILLION GOWNS WORN BY MISS AMERICA CONTESTANTS IN AN ERA WHERE LOOKING CHEAP WASN'T FASHIONABLE, BUT LOOKING PRISTINE AND IMPECCABLY GROOMED WAS, WE HAVE THIS MARVELOUS FACTORY MADE HEAVY SATIN (IT ACTUALLY REMINDS ME OF SILK PEAU DE SOIE) GOWN. CLEARLY MENT FOR BRIDAL DISPLAY AND SINCE I NEVER ACQUIRED IT'S VEIL, I HAVE CHOSEN TO USE IT AS A RETRO PAGEANT THEME PIECE. IN IT MISS REVLON 18 PAYS HOMAGE TO MISS AMERICA 1950, YOLANDE BETBEZE FROM ALABAMA TO VONDA KAY VAN DYKE, MISS AMERICA 1965 FROM ARIZONA. AN ERA OF TRULY ADMIRABLE MISS AMERICA ENCHANTMENT, WHEN MISS AMERICA HAD A REAL BONAFIDE AND TANGIBLE "LOOK". A SIMPLE SHORT SLEEVED FORMAT PLAYS AGAINST A SILVER SEQUIN NECKLACE TRIM (I ADDED THIS VIA HEAT AFFIX AS IT'S ORIGINAL PEARL AND RHINESTONE WIRE BASE TRIM WERE BROKEN, RUSTED AND LEFT BROWN RUST MARKS IN THE FABRIC), THE SEED PEARL AND LACE TRIM CUMMERBUND PLEATED APRON AND "JACQUELINE KENNEDY WHITE HOUSE TRAIN" (I LOVE MICHELLE OBAMA, BUT THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER JACKIE IN OUR LIFE TIME-THE COMPARISON IS UNFAIR TO MICHELLE...WHAT WOMAN OF TODAY CAN POSSIBLY LIVE UP TO JACKIE?.), MOTHER OF PEARL REAR TORSO BUTTONS AND THREE SECURE BACK SNAP ENCLOSURE. WITHIN THE SKIRT, THERE IS MILD FINISH COMPROMISE, A FEW SPOTS AND SOME PIN HOLES. SOUNDS HORRIBLE DOESN'T IT? WELL IT ISN'T ACTUALLY. I THINK MY PHOTOS TELL ALMOST A PERFECT STORY AND THAT IS HOW IT IS FOR THIS LOVELY CIRCA 1963 CONFECTION. THE GOWN HAS BEEN BLEACHED, THEN TREATED WITH AN ACID BASED RUST REMOVER AT THE NECK ONLY TO CORRECT THE RUST MARKS, WHICH IT SUCCESSFULLY DID AND THEN WAS WOOLITE SOAKED TO REMOVE THE CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS, LINE DRIED ON MY LANAI AND STARCHED AND PRESSED. PLEASE NOTE THAT IN ORDER TO SHIP THIS ECONOMICALLY, WRINKLING WILL OCCUR, SO GIRLS GET OUT AND FIRE UP YOUR IRONS (IT IRONS UP BEAUTIFULLY-LOW STEAM SETTING, PLEASE) OR STEAMERS. MY TIARA IS NOT PART OF THIS AUCTION BUT I WILL SHARE WITH YOU THAT YOU CAN GET THIS ONE OR A SIMILAR ONE AT WAL-MART IN THEIR BRIDAL CATERING SECTION, LOCATED NEAR NEAR CARDS AND GIFT WRAP OR PARTY GOODS FOR $5.88 BEFORE TAX. MICHAEL'S CRAFT STORES SELL THEM AS WELL MAYBE FOR A TOUCH MORE IN PRICE. MICHAEL'S AS WE ALL KNOW IS HIGHER IN JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING. BUT THEY DO WONDERFUL COUPON SALES, SO THEY REDEEM THEMSELVES. THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE ALL TIME GOWNS AND I HOPE YOU LIKE IT TOO AND I BRING IT TO YOU AT MY USUAL 99 CENT OPENING BID. IT WILL COME WITH A PAIR OF LACE TRIMMED VINTAGE TRICOT PANTIES WHICH HAVE THE TYPICAL ELASTIC WAISTE STRETCH OUT ISSUE THAT THEY ALL SEEM TO HAVE. BUT THEY SLIP ON AND HOLD NONETHELESS.
