1940s Fringed Silk Crepe Wiggle Dress
Amazing and unusual black silk wool crepe dress that is cut on the bias and fits fantastically when on and has a remarkable fringe detailing on the skirt! The dress itself is cut simply - a long lean skirt with just the slightest of an A-line cut to it. It nips in at the waist and the bodice is simple with a slight V neckline and a faux wrap effect that is caught up along one side. Each shoulder is gathered at the top and it has short cap sleeves. But to this simple dress they have added the most remarkable panels of silk cord fringe in asymmetrical panels so when you move they swing and move with you! The slanted application of these also helps to add length and curves to your figure! Excellent condition.
