This is truly one of the most wonderful 1940s gowns I've ever acquired for the shop. Body of garment is a black acetate taffeta, while accent stripes appear to be made of rayon satin rainbow ribbon. Asymmetrical/one-shoulder strap design. Side metal zipper, boning in bodice for structure and shaping. Back skirt gathering gives slight bustle effect. 3-D loop bow "corsage" accent at right bust. Truly, just a special one-of-a-kind piece of forties party wear!

Approximate Measurements of Garment (in inches):
Bust: 34 (laid flat at rest, but darting, etc. allows more room--shown on 35.5 mannequin)
Waist: to 29
Hips: Full
Length: 59

Condition Notes: On the whole, this gown is in beautiful and very very wearable condition. Held back from being mint by evidence of slight wear and discoloration at sides of bodice (see last image), as well as some teeny little holes right at bottom hem. These areas are not readily visible, esp. when worn. Small light mark at centre rear of garment that did not lift with drycleaning either. All told, this beauty has lots of charm and life left; still, price has been adjusted slightly to reflect these points and garment is sold AS IS and as a final sale, so please ask all questions and request any extra photos BEFORE purchase. Thank you!
