Late 30s/early 40s black rayon crepe dress with beading detail. Bodice has a high cowl neckline, shirring below the bust and 3/4 sleeves with structured shoulders. There is vertical seaming at the waistline with a flaring skirt with an inverted pleat at back. Two patch pockets over the hips have the same beading detail as the yoke. There are self ties behind the waist to cinch and dress closes with a back metal zipper.
Excellent condition with minor wear. I have lightened the photos for better detail but the color is a true black and I didn't note any fading. The beading seems to be all present. Fits like a size small to medium:
Bust: 36"/37"
Waist: 28"
Hip: relatively free
Waist length: no horizontal waist seam but about 16"
Shoulder: 13.5" seam to seam, 16" to edges of sleeve headers
Sleeve: 19.5"
Length: 43.5"
