Size equivalent to a small (4/6)


Turn heads in the ultimate timeless classic with this stunning vintage 1970s/1980s little black dress. Proudly union-made in the USA (featuring the authentic blue ILGWU tag), this piece beautifully showcases an ethereal Grecian goddess silhouette with heavily pleated, draped black tricot chiffon over a fully structured inner lining.

The dress is packed with striking design details, including a flattering surplice crossover V-neckline, an ultra-gathered elasticized waist, and dramatic draped shoulder panels that create a chic cold-shoulder peekaboo effect. The back features a plunging V-cut with a durable hidden zipper closure. This mid-length dress offers an elegant, fluid movement that works beautifully across Whimsigoth, Dark Romantic, and classic cocktail aesthetics.
