About the Item
This charming 1950s black taffeta embroidered party dress with cross over straps is gamine, feminine and in lovely vintage condition. The exquisite embroidered flowers start on the bust area and gently fall to about the hips make this dress more than just a little black dress with a rockabilly style aesthetic. The bodice has a Queen Anne neckline with double spaghetti style straps over each shoulder. Nipped in at the waist, the skirt flares out and would look great with a tiered petticoat for more volume. With a side zip on the left hand side this dress would best suit a US size 2-4 or UK 6-8 due to the petite waist measurement. Sadly the label has dropped out but in overall excellent vintage condition with no faults to mention. Our model is a UK 6-8 and 5ft 4in (163 cm) and this dress fit her well.

1960s Gerald McCann Black Satin and Floral Lace Cutout Dress
Located in London, GB
This mid to late 1960s cocktail or party dress is composed of three tiers and a lace ruffle panelling at the bottom of the dress. Panels are made of a transparent black floral lace and black satin. The satin fabric appears to have a grain, and is lined in black polyester. The solid panels are cleverly placed to cover the bust and crotch area. The collar is a scoop neck and two bust darts can be found on the front.
This dress is in excellent vintage condition save for a couple of very small pulls which are unnoticeable when the dress is being worn. Labeled a UK size 12, this runs smaller than modern sizing. Our model is a UK 6-8 or US 2-4 and this fits her well.
