Absolutely incredible little black dress - a definite wardrobe staple.
Made in the 1940s from inky black crepe, this figure hugging piece has such divine shaping. A close fitting bodice with ruching at the waistline it has a peach crepe chevron colour block panel on the bodice which is covered with floral lace, and the same chevron shape is replicated in the drop waist. A fishtail peplum which swishes when you walk, the dress has a back zip and is finished with a matching lace ruffle on the hem.
