1950s Off the Shoulder LBD

 New to the website is this classic little black dress, reminds me of Old Hollywood, so Audrey.




Vintage 1950s Black Surplice/ Crossover style dress S

This dress is done in a cotton / rayon blend. The style of the bodice has a surplice or crossover faux wrap front. Can be worn off the shoulders for a different look, very cute.There is a metal zipper on the back works fine, a pleated skirt and a wide skirt bottom. The sleeves are capped, there is no label or tag. It is made very well.The fabric is thin and has a ribbed crinkled look, but would look great layered with a crinoline or slip for fullness.

In good vintage condition- a small seam needs to be re-sewn under the arm and I did locate a hole on the shoulder, two easy repairs.

Measurements-
Bust- 32( some stretch)
Waist- 28-
Shoulder to Shoulder 16-
Shoulder to cuff -7-
 Hips- full-
 Length- 36

The snow is slowly melting here in the Northwest, we had a very bad blizzard this week, thank goodness its over. I will be getting back into the groove shortly. My studio is freezing, so have patience with me, thanks. But first a sweet 70s pastel colored large checkered sundress with a 50s appeal, and a twin sweater set by Wintuck, it reminds me of  1930s menswear ,but with a 1970s flare such fun.
