1950's Black Bow Lace Evening Dress - LRG

Here is one of the best evening dresses we have ever had! Vintage 50's black formal evening dress with a big silk bow in the back. Couture quality. We've had a similar dress with a bow just like this and it was by Mr. Blackwell. This may be from his line. The lace is so delicate & intricate, it's backed with light beige chiffon...stunning! Fabric is not labeled but we think it's rayon. There is some extra fabric at seams to let out. This little black dress is in a nice larger size. Bodice is fitted and the full skirt flares out so nicely. Very Audrey Hepburn!


Condition Details: No holes or stains. Looks almost new. Minimal wear. If you look real hard under the lace on the beige fabric there's one small faint pea sized spot. We didn't have to mention it since it's not really visible but we like to be thorough. The only real flaw is on the front chest and we think it's a bit of iron shine. It's not a spot like food or water but a slightly different texture that runs along the shape of the inside fabric so we think it was pressed and a 2" or so area was made. To us it looks like iron shine. We tried to lighten up the close up photo to show it but it was very hard to do. It doesn't show much but if you are super particular you might not like it. Price reflects condition... 50% off.
