The Awakening

Meet Awakening, she is an INCREDIBLE and truly beautiful rare late 1960s one of a kind bloody toned dream dress, wonderfully crafted in the most stunning plush and silky red velvet. I love the understated vampy elegance on this beauty, with a sultry fitted bodice, full length skirt and medieval flounced sleeves. This one is a true Bleeding Heart and an absolutely stunning gothic vampy treasure, accessorise with big statement pendants for the ultimate Heirlooms vibe.

This girl measures to approx UK size 8/10

Bust - up to 36"

Waist - 29" - 30" does sit high

Length - 55"

 For reference our mannequin, Norma, measures to a UK 6. 

The Awakening has been freshly cleaned and is ready to wear. DRY CLEAN ONLY. She is in good vintage condition, she has a few minor signs of wear.

ALL vintage velvet comes with small signs of wear to the pile of the fabric. This is part of the charm.

 This beauty has minimal signs of vintage wear, but please bear in mind that our pieces are true vintage, they’ve been danced in and they have been lived in, so all of our garments will carry your usual signs of vintage wear. Anything that we think is outside of what would class as usual vintage wear, we will state.

Here at Pansy we know vintage sizes are very different from modern sizes, and we pride ourselves on offering accurate measurements with approximate modern UK sizing to ensure a your Pansy purchases will be a good fit.
Although we do offer approx modern sizing it is also very helpful if you know your own measurements. If you are unsure of these, an easy way of estimating them is measuring one of your own garments, that fits well, laid flat. Measure in inches, across from pit to pit, flat across the waist and double both of these measurements.  Our length measurements are mostly taken from the highest point of the shoulder to the hem.
