This is such a beautiful dress.
Made in the 1940s from inky black crepe, it is a longer line dress which sits well below the knee and is perfect for a 1940s dance as the fabric has wonderful drape and the skirt has gorgeous shaping which really flows as you move. The bodice is close fitting and the skirt has pockets! The pocket edges are trimmed with lipstick red velvet which has a clear paste detail, which is replicated on the left bodice of the dress.
