Beautiful and hard to find plus size vintage 1950s black rayon crepe party or cocktail dress with a gorgeous sheer illusion bodice trimmed with black lace and matching cap sleeves. The bodice is lined just below the lace with pale pink taffeta trim to make a camisole at the front and back for added coverage. Nipped waist, and a flattering A-line cut with a tulip style skirt make this dress a go to for any special occasion. Most photos were pinned on my mannequin except for the ninth photo.

Label: none found

Condition: excellent. One extremely faint shadowy spot on the left chest, so faint it was hard to photograph. See photos for details. Also, not a flaw, but something to note: the dress has been altered at the hem. There’s about 4” at the hem to let down.

Measurements:
Shoulder: 17”
Bust: up to 44”
Waist: up to 34”
Bodice length: 20”
Hips: 46”
