VINTAGE 1940s SHEER BLACK DRESS WITH ATTACHED TAFFETA-LIKE SLIP AND SHOULDER PADS.  WIDE IVORY EMBROIDERED LACE CIRCLES THE SLEEVES, NECK AND IS FEATURED ALL THE WAY DOWN THE FRONT.  THE FRONT NECKLINE IS OPEN AND CLOSES WITH A SMALL HOOK & THREAD LOOP & MAROON BOW.  (ONE SIDE OF THE THREAD LOOP NEEDS TO BE REATTACHED.  AN EASY FIX.)  THERE IS SMOCKING ON TOP OF THE SHOULDERS AND AT THE WAIST.  A ZIPPER IS ON THE SIDE THAT WORKS FINE.  THERE ARE BELT LOOPS BUT NO BELT COMES WITH THIS DRESS.  THE SLIP IS ALREADY ATTACHED THROUGH A LOOP SEWN IN THE SHOULDER PAD AND IS PERMANENTLY ATTACHED AT THE WAIST SO IT ALWAYS STAYS IN LINE WITH THE DRESS.  SEEING THE SLIP AND SHOULDER PADS THROUGH THE SHEER MATERIAL GIVES A SEXY LOOK.  PERFECT AS A COCKTAIL DRESS OR FOR EVENING EVENT.  I WOULD SAY THIS IS A SMALL.
