About the Item
Fabulous vintage evening dress or gown, likely made in the late 40s or early 50s. Made from black taffeta, it features a black scalloped lace hem with lace inserts at the chest and back - so chic! It's got darts at the bodice , a gathered dropped waist and bow details at the shoulder tops, giving it a truly elegant silhouette and fit! It fastens with a metal zipper under the wearer's left arm and has a grosgrain ribbon at the front skirt bottom (photo 5).
A chic and elegant vintage dress, that's perfect for your upcoming parties and celebrations!
Irving was a distinguished women’s fashion boutique based in downtown Detroit, once located in a Tudor-style building on East Adams. Known for its elegant selections of dresses, suits, and eveningwear, Irving catered to the city’s fashionable clientele during the mid-20th century and later expanded into Grosse Pointe. Pieces bearing the Irving Detroit label are a testament to the sophistication of Detroit’s vibrant fashion retail scene of the 1940s–1960s.
Unlined. Labeled IRVING DETROIT. No content, union or care label. Dry clean recommended. No size tag; fits like a modern S/M. Approximate measurements, taken flat and doubled where appropriate: shoulders - 15.5in, bust - 36in, waist - 26.5in, hips - full, shoulder to hem - 56in.
Preowned/vintage (60+ years old) with some signs of use and prior wear: some spots/marks to interior which cannot be seen when worn; some loose threads at the lace portions (most hard to see unless closely inspecting). This dress has been in storage for more than 30 years and would benefit from a professional dry clean and press.
