An absolute showstopper for mid-century collectors! This authentic 1950s 60s true vintage cocktail dress beautifully blends late-1940s dramatic tailoring with mid-century construction. Good vintage pre-owned condition with minor stains present (finger pointing shows locations). No real frays or holes. Zipper works fine.
Silhouette has an incredibly striking plunging V-neckline framed by a plush, deep black silk velvet collar. Highly structured, tightly tailored "wiggle" waist that opens up into dramatic, oversized gathered hip pockets and cascading asymmetrical front draping. Closes securely down the middle of the back with its original, authentic metal "Dart" brand zipper. Includes original fabric-covered shoulder pads with internal objects, possibly weights which is a hallmark of high-end mid-century tailoring to ensure the heavy crepe drapes flawlessly.
Crafted from a premium, heavy-weight black faille crepe (possessing a gorgeous textured ribbed-pebble finish that feels like a durable rayon or early nylon blend), this dress is designed to turn heads. The fabric is incredibly strong, structurally sound, and retains a rich, saturated jet-black dye. There are no signs of fiber thinning, dry rot, or underarm discoloration. It shows typical folding creases from storage and will look absolutely spectacular after a gentle steam.
