RARE 1940s Hollywood Dance Costume Provenance Jean Aloise Showgirl Green Chiffon Crop Top Skirt Panties
I am overjoyed to be able to offer this amazing costume
I just purchased this along with others from the estate of Jean Aloise (Jean Martin) Hollywood dancer, she was active in the 40's, you can google her name to see her dance in one video. She was also married to Gene Nelson from Oklahoma! in the 90s. I was personally in her 3 million dollar condo in San Mateo California. She is in her 90s, although I did not get to meet her.
Its so rare to have provenance on these costumes
This costume is a 2 piece set, a pale celery green chiffon top and skirt (with built in panty shorts as she did backflips!)
The costume has much discoloration, spots, as you can compare the difference in one of the photos. I have not attempted any cleaning
Top, 13.75" across band, 17" across bust, 11.75" shoulder to bottom band, sleeves 22" shoulder to cuff
Hook eye closure at back, shoulder pads, double elastic at sleeve cuff (its likely shot, I have not attempted to stretch)
Bottoms, 12" across waist 18" length, built in shorts
