Up for your consideration is a lovely 1950's vintage black silk velvet and flocked taffeta rockabilly /swing party dress. The label is Sis Originals. The dress is a total Lucy dress with a very full skirt. The dress is tea length and has cap sleeves, a silk velvet bodice and also a fitted waist with a very full circle taffeta skirt. The taffeta skirt has small gathers at the V seam in the front and back. The taffeta skirt is flocked with a  large floral design and has a silver painted print centers, see photos. The neckline is cut in a deep V in the front and the back of the dress has a scoop cut. The skirt is fitted at the waist and also cut in a deep V in the front and the back of the skirt. The dress is trimmed in a silver metallic trim at the bodice, sleeves and skirt, as shown in the photo's. The dress has threaded belt loops, but original belt is missing. It also has a 12" inch metal side zipper. I would consider the dress to be in good vintage condition, with the exception of some imperfections. The zipper has been repaired, from a break at the bottom, sewn together at the bottom tightly with thread. The zipper seems to work fine though and does not go off the track, but may need to be replaced at some point. Please see the last photo to view the zipper repair. It also has an underneath patch repair approx. 2" in length at the very bottom of the skirt at the hem. It also has an area at the bottom hem where the fabric has been torn away, approx. 1/4 deep and two inches long, see second to last photo. There is also a series of tiny pinholes in the taffeta skirt, shown in one of the last photos. The repairs and pinholes are not that obvious though and because of the fullness and folds in the skirt they are for the most part only noticeable upon close inspection. Even with the imperfections this is still a wonderful 1950's velvet and taffeta full swing or cocktail party dress. I would approximate the dress to be about a women's size 4 to 5, but please refer to the size chart below for a more accurate fit. Please feel free to email with any questions you may have.
