1950s Full Skirted Black Silk Dress

Simple and perfect little black dress from the fifties is the perfect basic over which you can style and change it up to suit any mood. I love the boat neck that gives the shoulders such a flattering line. Simple sleeves end at the elbow and the bodice is fitted and nips in at the waist. The seam there is pointed and the seaming through the bodice angles down into the front yoke to give the illusion of a small waistline and length.† This is mirrored at the back and the it has a sexy V exposure at the back as well. The skirt flares out and is quite full. I have put a crinoline under it so you can see the fullness, or you can wear it without! Its is very pretty and a great little dress. Excellent condition.

Bust: 19î flat across from side seam to side seam
Waist: 14î flat across from side seam to side seam
