Lovely 1940s black dress with nice details. A great staple piece for any vintage wardrobe. Bodice is made of black rayon crepe with a small bust pocket, and skirt is black wool. Lovely pleated detail in skirt. Sleeves fasten with both buttons and snaps at the cuffs. Dress closes at side and back of neck with metal zippers. Dress includes its original belt. 

Very good vintage condition with just a few issues to note, mainly the zippers. Missing one button on end of sleeve. Both zippers work but do have issues. Side zipper teeth are broken about 2 inches from top and green from age. Back neck zipper has a missing tooth about 1/2 from the bottom. Both still work but can not zip past the points mentioned. Dress priced with flaws in mind.
