40’s Little Black Dress$485.00
-Incredible 40's little black dress
-One of the most unique dress designs I have ever seen, incredibly well made, with a
gorgeous feminine fit and style
-This dress was designed and made on a the dress form versus a flat draft pattern or cut on
the table top and it is meant to fit like a glove and is truly a sculptural dress to wear
(designer/ couture)
-The black crepe is made from a heavy black crepe that is substantial with a good amount of
weight to it
-there is no color fade whatsoever and is an inky jet black with a subtle sheen
-sweetheart neckline with wrap around short cap sleeves that meets at the sweetheart bust
line and gathering along the central bust
-gathering along the lower sleeve in their armpit
-high waist pencil skirt that goes to the knee or below the knee hemline (there is an
additional 5" seam allowance that can be taken out to make it long if need be or shorter)
-Black metal zipper back closure
-The unique aspect of this incredible dress is the back panel layer, it's essentially another an
additional back layer that is built into top of the dress but is seperate until it meets into the
armpit
-This panel is made from the the same black crepe
-This dress is incredible and is something you need to see and feel in person, it's incredible
-Lastly there is a back seam allowance of the dress that measures 2. 25" that can be used to
take out the design for a larger fit (in my opinion, it would be totally worth it to do it to this
dress as it is an archival design)
