This arresting Fred Perlberg late 1940s or early 1950s black chiffon evening dress with matching gloves is designed to turn heads on the dance floor. Part of its 'creator's lovingly titled range of party and dance dresses "Dance Originals", the emphasis on movement and show stopping glamour is evident in this piece. Thin spaghetti straps support a dramatic horizontal neckline , which is softened by chiffon arranged attractively over the bust line in a cross-over fashion. The bodice is corseted to accentuate the fairytale waistline, which details a simple piped seam before falling away dramatically into the floor sweeping skirt. The high-waisted skirt is fully lined, with a full-circle chiffon overlay. The fabric features a panel of gold sequin embellishment that comes into play just above the knee and runs parallel to the hem. There is a concealed zip fastening to the left of the bodice with a hook and eye closure. The sheer chiffon gloves...

This is a documented, rare vintage 1940's Adele Simpson skirt and jacket is in a luxurious black wool. The flattering double breasted jacket has an exaggerated notched collar, shoulder pads for structure, and a cinched waist. The 8 front 7/8'' buttons are black wool capped with a glossy black ring surrounding the cap. The jacket has shoulder pads for structure and the sleeve cuffs fold over forming triangles that point towards the back of the jacket, creating a two extruding mirrored points on each sleeve. We have documented the jacket from Fall/Winter 1947. We aren't sure if the unlabeled skirt is original to the suit but are including it because it came from the same estate and was worn with the jacket by the original owner.. The straight skirt is in a black wool crepe and it is defined with 2 pleats in front and 2 pleats in back. There is a zipper in the side seam with overlapping fabric and a hook and eye closure at the waist line. The skirt has a 9'' knife kick pleat centered at the bottom of the back of the skirt. We acquired this many years ago from our all time favorite estate of vintage designer clothing...
