GORGEOUS! This dress looks straight out of a vintage ad - you will stop traffic wearing this beauty! Stylish and classy, this very lovely 1950's dress has the perfect hourglass shape, full buttons from top to bottom, and black braided trim. Also features shoulder pads and dolman sleeves. Has one full pocket on the right. Looks like there used to be a full pocket on the left, but maybe got sewn shut at some point to use the fabric elsewhere?

Made by Carl Naftal of California.

See the photos for the beautiful color - it is mostly a charcoal silver, but in the sun it shows a little bit of a gold iridescence. How lovely would this be with some black patent heels or pumps, some gloves, a hat, and pearl earrings! Add a belt to emphasize the silhouette. Photos are shown with a petticoat, which is not included.

Carl Naftal made beautiful, well tailored dresses, and this lady is no exception. This dress is in EXCELLENT vintage condition!! I could find no holes, stains, or other major issues. The only thing I see is there is some separation starting to happen at the waist seam (see photos). This is absolutely normal for a dress of this age, and is an easy fix.

There is NO stretch to this dress. Please note measurements carefully.
