Description
A LBD for cocktails or dancing, this 1940's rayon crepe dress has a simple shape accented with horizontal rows of black sequins and trapunto. The high, round neckline, cap sleeves and shorter hemline are typical of dresses from the war years. It is unlined, and a bit sheer. The dress closes with a metal zipper in the side seam and the back of the neck opens with small covered buttons. Based on the underarm-to-waist measurement, the dress may be a bit short-waisted, and should therefore fit best on a petite size. It is in excellent condition, with a few loose stitches in the back waist seam (see photo).
