Lovely vintage 1950's black silk peau de soie cocktail party dress with illusion details.

The fabric is smooth and has a soft lustre - it's not a super shiny satin.

The sleeves are short and the neckline is squared, with notches in the corners, filled in with taupe inserts, creating the illusion of just a bit more skin.

Vertical darts start at each breast, then taper in at the waist, which is cinched with a long matching cord belt.

The skirt is full, slightly more voluminous than an a-line.

This closes up the back with a metal zipper. It is not lined, but it has hand finished seams and loops to hold the wearer's bra straps in place. It also has two long cords on the inside corners of the neckline - I have no idea what they're for!

Excellent - I cannot find a flaw.

Please note that due to variations in monitors, browsers, and gamma settings, the "real life" color of the item may not be truly represented on your computer.

My drycleaner makes me cry, so I leave the process to my buyers, who I hope have access to more skilled cleaners than I do.

The best way to determine whether piece will fit is to measure a similar piece of clothing from your wardrobe and compare the sizes.

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS - the actual cost of shipping is often less than the amount computed by ebay. Please contact me if you'd like the exact amount.

None - and trust me I have looked! This seems like a designer piece, though it might have been made by a high end dressmaker.
