Glamorous vintage 1940s Carlye black rayon dress with nude wool cap sleeves featuring ornate sequined and studded soutache. Side metal zipper with hook and eye closures to cover up the zipper. Additional Unity zipper at the nape of the neck. In great vintage condition with signs of use consistent with the age of the garment. Some moth bites in the wool capped sleeves. There is an area on the front bottom of the bodice that was likely ripped and has been reinforced from the inside. Please see pictures with blue pen. These flaws are not noticeable to me because of the ornate details in the wool sleeves. I have worn this dress out numerous times and received so many compliments.  Fits like a size small but check measurements for the perfect fit.
