This is a 1950s black formal dress with a sheer lace overlay. It has a zipper up the side seam and a label that says Pasternak Washington DC. The dress is in fair condition with some holes in the lace layer that are shown in the photos. Still a very pretty dress. It appears to be a small based on the following measurements: 16” across the chest from pit to pit, 14” across the waist from side to side, and 62” in length from shoulder to bottom hem.
