Vintage 1940s short-sleeve cocktail dress by Reich Original. Crafted from a heavyweight black silk satin skirt with faux pockets and paired with a striking gold satin bodice featuring a black lace overlay and classic structured shoulder pads. The bodice details include decorative fabric-covered buttons running down the center front, a functional original metal side-seam zipper, and an extra original button currently pinned to the sleeve.
In good, structurally sound antique condition and fully wearable, though sold as-is due to localized ripping on the delicate lace overlay and minor surface pulls to the satin fabric; original belt is not included.
