An exquisite and unique vintage 1940s taffeta sparkling sequin and soutache cocktail dress designed by An Original by Parnes Feinstein.

This dress is so striking and it is absolutely beautiful. I wore this dress on a cruise for dinner one evening and received so many compliments on it as everyone told me how beautiful it was and I might add they were both men and women.  

The color is a lovely steel gray blue with sparkling iridescent sequins "flowers" out of flat soutache trim on the front and back of the dress. The dress has a bit more gray blue than shown in the photos as it was hard to capture the exact shade.  I love the asymetrical curve on one side of the bodice with soutache and sequins.   Metal side zipper.  Vintage pinked seams.    

Absolutely beautiful and would be stunning for any formal affair, an evening out on the town, a cruise or a holiday party.

By: An Original by Parnes Feinstein
Size: No tag but I wear a size 8-10 and it fit me but go by the measurements instead of the size.
Approximate Measurements – This means the measurements of the item listed – not of your own figure.  You must be a few inches smaller than the measurements shown.
Bust: 37 - 38
Waist: 30
Length: 41 - 42
Fabric: No tag but taffeta
Care: Dry clean
Condition: Very good - about 1" of the seam under the arm needs a few stitches to pull closed - repair was made by the former owner (not me) on the left side and up a bit close to the sleeve where the zipper is to the left.  Not noticeable when wearing because it's close to the underarm. About 1" of has come undone and you might want to take the 1-1/4" that was pulled together by the former owner and re-hand or machine sew it with thread a color closer to the color of the dress or just leave it. (Shown in photos)  A few of the soutache braid loops have come undone but only need to be tacked from the inside of the dress to secure.  A cleaner could do these small little repairs if you did not want to do them.

Care Instructions

We examine each item carefully and note any imperfections, but unless an item is said to be new, please don't expect it to be perfect & even some new items have small imperfections. I will always state in the description if there are any imperfections & I never do repairs but leave them to others who are better able to do them than me as that is not my expertise.

Please remember that unless specified all items have been used and will show varying signs of use or wear. We always list the obvious imperfections to the best of our abilities. However, some slight imperfections that will not show or affect wearing or using the item may slip by or not be considered worth mentioning.

Vintage nightgowns & peignoirs may be delicate so I do not wash them in the machine. I wash them in lukewarm water with Woolite or some other mild soap, then rinse & hang dripping wet in the shower.

Since these are vintage items, a bit of extra care needs to be taken with them so they remain beautiful & I definitely would never put a vintage nightgown or a peignoir in the dryer as it would ruin it.

The items are sold as we find them. We do not dry clean, launder, alter or repair vintage clothing and they should be cleaned or washed upon arrival. Please make your selection carefully & check the measurements. We hope you enjoy what you purchased but we know sometimes things do not fit quite as you would like or the color is wrong.  In that case, we do allow one exchange or a store credit on any item that you want. There are about 2,000 items in the store and more are being added all the time so you have a large selection to choose from.

You must email before returning an item so I can give you the information that you need to exchange the item.

International customer have 14 days to contact Midnight Glamour about returning an item if they should want to.  International customers may have to pay be additional customs and import taxes and there maybe unforeseen customs delays. The seller is not responsible for these delays nor for the custom charges as that is the international customer's obligation when purchasing an item outside your country.

Such a Pretty Backpack.
Color: Apricot, Size: 16 Inch
I love this backpack. It's very beautiful and very comfortable to wear. I mainly bought it for a trip to Prague, but I love this bag so much I started using it daily. The quality feels good all around. The zippers are really smooth and the straps are very comfortable. One of my friends happened to take such a liking to it that she ordered her own too. The different pockets allow for easy organization and quick access. It's very stylish and so far, its been quite durable. I've used it for a little less than 5 months and a trip to the other side of the world, but its still holding up.

"The backpack has an elegant and minimalist design, with a smooth and good quality finish. It is spacious, has several practical pockets and looks resistant for daily use. The neutral color makes it easy to combine and perfect for both work and travel. Very functional and with excellent presentation.”

Quality for your money.
Color: Apricot, Size: 16 Inch
I am beyond pleased. Everything works well. I was just think yesterday after looking at it that i will have this bag long because it strong like keep for years strong, no joke. It is worth it. Easy to use, the space is enough for a University Student like me, and it adjsut well but I'm guessing it's manufacturing problem as one starp is longer than the other and feels funny at time but I work around it and adjust to my comfort.

Perfect backpack for work and daily use
Color: Apricot, Size: 16 Inch
The backpack has a clean, professional look and the material feels sturdy and smooth. The size is perfect for a 16-inch laptop, with good padding and comfortable straps. I use it daily for work, and everything fits well inside, including my laptop, charger, and a few essentials. It stays organized without feeling bulky and is very comfortable to carry

Comfy and supportive
Size: 36B, Color: Beige
the fit of this bra is amazing, but i did found out i’m a cup bigger and i’ll be ordering a new size, i can tell this bra is perfect! i’ve been looking for a bra that’s soft, comfy, but also supportive and creates a natural appearance. the durability and quality of the bra seems great, it seems strong but i will update if otherwise. the underwire keeps the shape of the girls but it feels like there’s nothing there! usually i have to go to the restroom a few times a day at work to readjust, but this bra held in place. obviously when leaning over or stretching a bit you do have to readjust, not as much as other bras though. like the description and photos show, there is no padding. in a t-shirt it may matter but i mostly wear sweatshirts and graphics :)
