About the Item

This vintage 1940s bias-cut velvet dress is the black velvet dress your wardrobe is missing— it is just SO good. It was made in the 1940s of black velvet with a gorgeous bias cut; that cut, combined with the high inverted-V waist, create the most gorgeous shape that flatters everyone. The sleeves are trimmed with faux-fur, and I love the chic mock neck. Closes in the back with a zipper and snap. Measurements: Best fits a size X-Small and Small; it's more narrow through the shoulders and hips and more forgiving from the waist down due the bias cut, so can potentially fit larger as well depending on measurements; please refer to below measurements. Shoulders: 15" Chest: 37" Waist: 30" Sleeves: 22" Length: 52.5" Great vintage condition, with natural wear commensurate with its age. With any questions about the specific condition or size, please send a message for additional photos or measurements, as all sales are final. *IF YOU REQUIRE EXPRESS SHIPPING (domestic or international), please contact me for my best quote! Same-day or next-day delivery (or pickup) is in most cases available in the NYC area. @VERYBREEZY — Follow along on Instagram for exclusive access to new vintage arrivals

Vintage 1940s Velvet Two-Piece Dress with Rose Appliqué
Located in New York, NY
A nod to the silhouette of Christian Dior's New Look, this incredible velvet skirt set was made in 1947. It was made by designer Lorraine Budny for the brand Sportwhirl, which was founded in 1945 as a "separates house," specializing in pieces a woman could wear both separately and as a set— quite a novelty at the time, as store-bought dresses at all were not all that readily available. It's made of black velvet with felt rose appliqué and beaded embroidery— it actually presents like a dress, but is really two pieces, and each could absolutely be mixed and worn separately (as was the original design concept). The look is so romantic and reminds me of Old Hollywood film stars (with a dash of Snow White). The Vintage 14k Gold Spinel Heart...

1960s Embellished Wiggle Dress
Located in New York, NY
VERY BREEZY presents: This is the dream vintage wiggle dress! The shape is so perfectly 1960s, from the way its fitted through the hips to the bateau neckline— so flattering and the perfect amount of sexy! This piece was sourced in Italy, although it was made in the US. It's embroidered all over with sequins in a squiggling formation. The paillettes are of such a great quality (nothing like the cheap sequins that are so commonplace in modern garments). A small slit in the back back makes it easy to move. The Vintage Diamanté Necklace...
