This is a spectacular 60s inky black velvet A-Line dress. The dress’s silhouette is simple with a V-neckline and long fitted sleeves. The dress is fitted at the bust and gets looser down to the hem. The best part of the dress is that the hem is trimmed entirely in plush black iridescent feathers. The dress is fully lined in rayon and has a zipper up the back with hooks and eyes at the wrist for closure. The dress does have a tag and is labeled Miss Elliette California. It is marked a size 14 but is going to be closest to a US size 8-10.

Condition:

The dress is in fantastic condition with only a few marks on the velvet. The dress had been hemmed in a strange manner, I think due to the feathers, so you can still see some slight smooshing but steaming has helped re-fluff the velvet.
