Description
A simple black crepe cocktail dress from the early 1940’s is made lovelier by the addition of a whole flower garden of rayon print fabric appliqués. The bright colors of the flowers really pop against the flat black crepe. The dress has a crossover bodice, reminiscent of Asian-style necklines. The shoulders are slightly squared with large shoulder pads. In front, the skirt is pleated, hiding two pockets. The back of the dress is plain and simple, with a metal zipper at the back of the neck. The dress fastens with a side metal zipper, and is in excellent condition.
