From the 1950s, a navy blue silk chiffon cocktail dress with gathers, drapes, and nipping in all the right places. Short, ruched sleeves. Defined waist. Lined in acetate except at the sleeves. Closes at back with a metal zipper. Feel wonderful. Union made in the U.S.A.

Labels: only the 1955'-63 ILGWU label and a style tag remain

Fiber/Care: no tags, silk chiffon with acetate lining, dry-clean

Condition: a few extremely tiny pulls in the chiffon here and there. underarm color fade to the lining only. our dry-cleaner didn't do the world's best pressing job this time, but you'll likely want to re-steam/re-press after shipping, anyway, so we left it as is.

*We've had this cocktail dress professionally dry-cleaned and it's ready to wear.*
