Very pretty vintage 1950s dress - perfect for work or any other occasion. Black with white nubby accents...feels like cotton, but I can't say for sure.   Very flattering design with a fitted bodice and a fuller skirt.   Metal zipper on the side that works well.  I believe it is probably handmade, but sewn very well.     No size tag, so  please be sure to check the measurements carefully.   All measurements below have been taken with the dress laying flat, so may need to be doubled.
