vintage black dress

This vintage black dress is made of a light weight taffeta type material. It has a "V" neckline and is sleeveless. The bodice is simple and falls straight to the drop waistline. The drop waist begins with a small piping, followed by about 1" of gathering. The skirt is full and consists of two layers. The top layer comes to above the knee in the front and gradually drops in the back. The bottom layer falls below the knee and is almost floor length in the back. The dress has a side snap closure which begins at the armhole and continues through the waistline. The upper portion of the underskirt is done in black net to give the skirt some body. A large red bow accents the waistline on one side (the bow has faded in areas and is splitting in a few places - I would recommend replacing it with a new one). This vintage dress is in very good condition, except for the bow, and is wearable. The dress measures: bustline=36"; waistline=32"; hips=36".
