Here we have a truly beautiful dress from the very late 1940s or very early 1950s. The fabric is black gabardine with white details on the neckline and cuffs. Though this dress has no label, her design is simply amazing and defenitely from a top quality maker. She had a precious pleated front pannel with a little bow and a set of false buttons. The shape of the bodice and waist is simply delicious ending up with a full accordion skirt. She closes with a back metal zipper. This dress is not homemade.
