Vintage 1940s black silk velvet dress with a bias cut and padded shoulders to give the classic 40's silhouette. A deep v cut neckline closes at the chest with a hook and eye, with wide sleeves falling just a bit passed the elbow. Slinky and very flattering, with a lightly fitted waist that can be cinched with the long accompanying sash tie. This dress falls a few inches above the ankle and closes at the side with a metal zipper.
