Vintage Purple Velvet Cocktail Dress, 1950s Semi Formal Occasion Dress in Dark Purple Amethyst Velvet, Size XS
Deep amethyst colored velvet dress has half sleeves, a squared off neckline, fitted bodice, and a more a-line skirt with 2 wide pleats in back. Simple but elegant, this is the perfect dress to wear to holiday parties for work, or to use as your go-to for nights out in the winter months.
Dress has a metal zipper down the center back and is lined in the bodice / hip area. The velvet feels like cotton.
No size is marked on this. Measures like a modern womens XS or maybe small. Model is a size small and 5'11". The dress was tight in the forearms for her, but that could be more of a length issue, the rest fit quite well. The sleeves are a subtle dolman style and taper down, hitting just below the elbow. For best fit, please compare the measurements below to your own, or the size chart of a brand that fits you well.
