This rare vintage 1950s Helen Rose silk party dress is not only the most joyous confection, but a very important piece of fashion history. 

Helen Rose was an important figure in both fashion and Hollywood from the 1940s, through the 1960s and beyond. An Academy Award-winning costume designer, she worked with young starlets like Elizabeth Taylor while working at movie studio MGM. She was known for her fashion-forward approach, making a name for herself by veering from precise historical accuracy in period pieces. She began producing garments inspired by her designs for the screen, and they quickly became highly-sought-after by her Hollywood clientele. Rose became the premier bridal designer of the time— she designed Elizabeth Taylor's wedding dress for her first wedding in 1950, as well as 

Grace Kelly's wedding dress for her marriage to Prince Rainier of Monaco— see images below. (Elizabeth Taylor's Helen Rose dress was auctioned for

$188,000 in 2013.)

Made in the late 1950s, this dress was designed by Helen Rose and retailed at JW Robinson. The emerald green rich silk is so lush— we rarely see fabric of this quality today. The ruched drop-waist bodice, together with the full pleated skirt and open neckline creates a flattering hourglass shape. I love the way the gathering at the shoulders creates little cap sleeves. But, the draped bow detail steals the show! It's so well done, and adds a unique movement to the dress. It features a silk-chiffon lining in the skirt. Note that the exact fiber contents are not listed

Measurements: PLEASE NOTE that this dress previously was let out in the bodice, so these measurements reflect the dress's current state, although it would be very easy to take it back in following the original seam line. It can be taken in on each side by .75" and at the back zipper by up to about 1" for a total of about 2.5", just following those existing seam lines. (You could obviously take it in more, too.) It is shown clipped on a size X-Small to simulate a proper fit; as-is, it will best fit a size Small and Medium but please refer to below measurements to be sure.

Chest: 36" laid flat (some extra room if needed thanks to gathering)

Waist: 28"

Hips are open

Length: 40.5" from shoulder to hem (can be let out by 4.5" if needed)

Good vintage condition overall; the fabric exhibits some fading in small areas but because of the nature of the silk and its sheen, it's really not noticeable when worn, and doesn't pick up in photos at all. With any questions about the specific condition or size, please email [email protected] for additional photos or measurements, as all sales are final.

A Tasty and Effective Way to Boost Digestive Health!
Style: Fiber + Orange 120 ct
The Metamucil Fiber Supplement Gummies in Sugar-Free Orange Flavor are a delicious game-changer in the world of digestive health. I've always been conscious of the importance of fiber in my diet, but sometimes it's challenging to get enough. These gummies have made maintaining a healthy digestive system both effortless and enjoyable. First and foremost, the taste is fantastic. The sugar-free orange flavor is not only satisfying but also refreshingly tangy. These gummies are such a delightful treat that you'll forget you're actually taking a supplement. They're a convenient way to incorporate essential fiber into your daily routine without the need for powders or pills. The 5g of prebiotic plant-based fiber in each serving is a fantastic addition to my daily intake. Not only does it support regularity and keep my digestive system on track, but it also promotes a healthy gut environment, thanks to the prebiotic benefits. It's a win-win for both digestion and overall well-being. The convenience of gummies cannot be overstated. I can take them on the go, making it easy to maintain my fiber intake, even when I'm busy. Plus, they are much gentler on the stomach compared to traditional fiber supplements, which is a significant advantage. I also appreciate that these gummies are sugar-free, as I'm conscious of my sugar intake. It's a thoughtful option for those who want to maintain their health without added sugars, and they taste just as good as the sugary alternatives. In conclusion, Metamucil Fiber Supplement Gummies in Sugar-Free Orange Flavor have truly transformed the way I approach my digestive health. They are tasty, convenient, and effective. If you're looking for a delicious way to improve your daily fiber intake while benefiting from prebiotic support, these gummies are a must-try. They've become a part of my daily routine, and I couldn't be happier with the results. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to boost their digestive health in a delightful way. It's a five-star product that lives up to the Metamucil reputation!

Works Fantastic for me
Style: Fiber + Orange 120 ct
For me - these are amazing. I have been taking for 3 days now and I have such improvement! Won't go into much detail but they help with my fiber intake immensely and they taste good. I take two a day in the evening no side effects for me and feel much better. Highly recommend if you need help getting more regular and we all need more fiber.

Nice orange flavor, a little soft.
Style: Fiber + Orange 120 ct, Style: Fiber + Orange 120 ct
My wife is always after me to take fiber supplements, which is a good idea, except I don't like putting glop in water to drink it. But I do like popping an occasional gummy, so this is the perfect fix. The flavor is good, mild orange, and my only complaint is that they're a little soft. They stick together a bit, and I typically leave the jar upside down so they'll fall to the top.

Taste Great And Works
Style: Fiber + Orange 120 ct
I take both GLP — 1 medication and migraine prevention medication. Both cause constipation. These not only taste great but they work in time. I started slowly by only taking 2 and then after about 5 days I went to 3. So glad I found these.
