This is a jaw-dropping vintage 1960's formal dress. It is made of sinfully soft rayon velvet in jet black. It features a black and white striped satin and black and white polka-dot taffeta ruffled mermaid hemline, SO DRAMATIC! It has a beautiful hourglass shape with darts in all the right places. It has a scoop neckline and deep V back, nylon back zipper with hook & eye closure, and the bust is partially lined in taffeta. This is an incredible head-turning vintage piece!!

Labeled size 12, please use the measurements for an accurate fit by comparing them to a garment that fits you well.

Measures: 37" Bust, 32" waist, 41" hips, 55 1/2" long shoulder to hemline.

Excellent condition, there are some visible pick marks from someone having previously taken it in at the side seams, there aren't holes but the velvet was pushed down from the seam, this will eventually right itself and be invisible as the velvet relaxes.

Please note that clothing measurements are taken flat and doubled, unless otherwise noted. The bust is measured at the fullest part of the bodice, underarm to underarm, any pleats, darts, or formed cups are taken into consideration and measured to the nearest 1/4". Waist measurements are taken at the narrowest part of the natural waistline, empire waists are measures at the specific seam and noted as such. Hip measurements are taken from the circumference of the fullest area around the hip section. Overall length is measured from the top of the shoulder to the hemline, unless it is strapless then it will be noted where the measurement is taken from. Sleeves are measured from the top shoulder seam to the cuff unless otherwise noted.

For the best fit you should measure a similar garment that fits you well and compare them against the posted measurements.
