Original 1950's Heavy Black Silk Long Sleeved Dress with Pockets - Bust 34

This fabulous dress was made in the 1950's and is so much better in real life than the photographs show. Made from heavy weight silk the detailing on the dress is divine! Featuring a deep v-neck yoke which goes into a finely gathered, full bodice, it has long slim fitting sleeves with underarm gussets. With a wide wing collar it has a hook and eye fastener in the back. The skirt is wonderfully full with fine gathers at the waist and it has pockets! A very stylish little black dress for any vintage lover's wardrobe.
