This gorgeous dress was made in the 1930's.
Made from inky black crepe it features long sleeves with great elbow shaping and small pintucks at the wrists. It has fine shoulder darts in the front yoke and a crossover bodice which fastens on the left bust with two glass buttons. The prettiest feature of the dress is the scallop detail running down the bodice and into the skirt and it is finished off perfectly with a belt.
A timeless classic for any vintage lover's wardrobe.
