What a great little vintage 1940s cocktail dress! Capped raglan sleeves, bodice gently fitted with pleating at the waist. The notched neckline is inset with curving tucked pink satin anchored by a pair of sparkling rhinestone buttons at either end.
SIZE: No size label. Measurements suggest that this may have originally been designed for a petite woman.

FABRIC/COLORS: Black crepe, probably rayon. Inset fabric is light pink satin.
TAGS: No tags
CLOSURES: Two self fabric buttons close a short placket at the back of the neck. There is also a side seam metal zipper.
CONDITION: No flaws noted, no stains, holes, or tears. I have shown the dress in some photos with a fabric belt that is not original to the dress and is not included. In the same photos, I temporarily added shoulder pads. If you like the padded look, it will be a simple matter to baste in a modern pair of your choosing.
