Cocktail dress in black lace over a nude lining, from the 1950s or early 1960s.

• Delicate, soft black lace.
• Unlined at upper bodice, high neckline, and long sleeves which end in a single button and loop.
  
• Bust darts and princess seams.
• Body lined in nude crepe.
• Closes at back with long metal zipper, plus hook&eye and three snaps at collar
• Nicely finished with Hong Kong and French seams.

Labels: none, probably home sewn

Fiber/Care: no tags, feels like a cotton blend lace with silk or rayon crepe lining / dry-cleaning recommended

Condition: we found only two very small and invisible mends to the lace, and a few tiny spots on the lining that may lift with another cleaning
