VINTAGE 1940s BIAS-CUT VELVET FUR-TRIMMED DRESS

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
