This is a stunning dress from the 1950s. The fabric is very thick cotton in very dark grey, probably the main color was black back on her days but now it has lost intensity and looks more very dark grey. She has a really cool embroidery in primary colors. Beautiful shape closing with a side metal zipper. The zipper is an Eclair so this dress is most probably a French garment.
