Mom's green/brown organdy/organza dress

front
This is an interesting dress that depending on how the light shines on it you see brown or green or both.
 back
hem 

this is one of the smaller dresses
measurements
chest 35
waist 25
neck to hem 40

It buttons up the back and zips too.

The straps are only pined in place I am assuming that was so if she grew a little that could be adjusted.  But I am not sure on that as the sheer over part kind of negates that thought.  Maybe they just ran out of time before the dance and that is what they did. Hand made
lining and pined on straps

There are several moth/snag holes through out the entire dress which is real sad to me. (the snag holes might be corsage pin holes because of where they are located right next to the strap). I am not even attempting to fix that so be for warned this has issues that will be there forever.  Lots of the organza/organdy (not sure which it is)has raw edges never fished so it will fray something fierce the first time it is ever cleaned in any way.  There are also small dark brown stains on it too.  stainsnag holes
