It's a Vintage Shirley of Hollywood black gown. There is beautiful lace for the straps and bodice, smooth silky satin for the body which then swirls into a dramatic bias cut at the bottom. It is unfortunately missing the tie piece for lacing up the back, but probably someone handy could fashion a tie for it. I just steamed it. 34" from armpit to armpit, 44" from armpit to hem and 58". I ship next day and I will always combine shipping when I can so take a look at my other Vintage Listings if you want and thanks!  from shoulder strap to hem.
