FRANK USHER IVORY SHELF BUST RUFFLED CHIFFON GOWN
Smashing designer gown that we're guessing 1980s, possibly a bit later. Stunning choice for wedding, bridal or prom dress.
Frank Usher, from London, has been in the business of fabulous special occasion and evening wear since the 1940's.
Done is an ivory chiffon over acetate taffeta.
Shelf bust bodice with gathering under bust area.
Boning front and sides.
Spaghetti straps.
Wide ruched cummberbund style waistband.
Floor length taffeta column skirt is overlaid with ivory chiffon that has attached overlapping layers of ruffles. The ruffles have a lettuce hem finish, are gathered at the waist, then cascade down the length of the skirt, creating a striking tiered effect.
There is a back slit for ease of movement.
Back nylon zipper closure.

The chiffon in the top 1"of side seams has been reinforced as it had stretched a bit. Detected a couple of very faint, tiny spots on chiffon skirt that did not come out with dry cleaning. Neither of these issues detracts from the beauty of this gown, nor affects wearability. Overall excellent condition.
