Shipping calculated at checkout.

1940 black rayon crepe dress with a mesh yoke studded with clear stones.  Bodice has a sweetheart neckline and 3/4 length sleeves.  The mesh yoke closes at back with hooks and eyes and there is a side metal zipper.  Neckline and hem have ruffled trim.  There is a curved V shaped waist seam and the skirt flares toward the hem.

Dress is in very nice condition with a few flaws to the mesh portion.  There are two areas at the back shoulder area with visible mends. One where a stone is missing and the other where the stone is still present.  See photos for close ups of these areas. Otherwise I noted only minor wear commensurate with age.  Dress measures about a size small but can work for an extra small as well.  It's shown unpinned on the size 2 form.
