A vintage 1940s black gown with an exterior lace fabric on the front and back bodice, and slightly puffed lace sleeves. The dress also has a blue ribbon under the lace on the front and back bodice, including a decorative bow beneath the front neckline. The dress fastens with a side zipper, and has belt loops (but is missing the original belt). The main dress fabric, including the skirt and interior fabric of the bodice, is a black rayon crepe.
Size: small to medium
Bust: max bust ~38", and will drape on smaller (model is a 34" bust and fits her unpinned as shown)
Waist: 30" with give to 31-32", and will drape/belt on smaller (model is a 28" waist, and fits her unpinned as shown)
Hip: 44" (best for ~42" max)

Shoulder (from seam to seam): 14.5", with additional room in puffed sleeves
Condition: Very good. A bit of faint color bleed from the black fabric onto blue ribbon, but this is hidden by the lace. A handful of small repairs to lace, primarily around neckline. Mends are inconspicuous (see last photo). Dress presents as excellent.
