About the Item

his darling 1940's black crepe silk dress, accented by a cream floral lace collar, is just the piece to add to your classic vintage collection. The elegant rounded neckline, is framed by a cream coloured softly scalloped floral collar, which draws in along the front of the neckline with a concealed press stud. The simple shoulder line, is accented by internal shoulder pads, which set off the short length sleeves. The fitted bodice, is accented by central button and loop fastenings along the bust-line, setting off the under-bust seam, which boasts soft pleated gathers along the base of the bust. The fitted waist panel is set off by a matching belt, which draws the eye to the soft gathered pleats along the top of the skirt seam, which completes this dress in a timeless and iconic silhouette.
