Description

This is such beautiful vintage mid century dress, and it is so much prettier than the photos suggest! This lovely black velvet midi dress has an intricate painted floral design in shades of teal, blue, white, and light peach.
The dress has nice raglan sleeves, and the cuffs and collar are trimmed with thin black satin ribbon. The cuffs of the sleeves have small metal snap closures and there is a center metal zipper with a hook and eye closure at the collar.
This dress is fully lined and has no labels or tags. We estimate this dress would best fit a modern day US size 6/8.
This dress came from our favorite estate of all time. If you are familiar with our shop, you have most likely heard us mention this dream estate often. Everything this woman owned was impeccable and she only bought the finest of the finest. So, when we go to sell her unlabeled pieces, we know that they too are exceptional. This dress is a beautiful example of the type of pieces she had. The silk velvet fabric is absolutely gorgeous and the print is done in with such a unique process.
The dress is in excellent condition and has a very flattering fit.

WAIST: 30"

Measuring & Fit Guide

We offer a large selection of designers and manufacturers that span the 20th and early 21st century. Sizing varies greatly, so we have outlined our measuring and size estimating process.

The best way to know if a vintage item will fit you is to take a garment that fits you well, similar to the one you are interested in purchasing, and measure it the way we measure ours. 

View our video guide to taking accurate body measurements:

We lay all garments flat and measure as follows*:


DRESSES PANTS

BUST - under arm to under arm across the front and then double that measurement.  

Measure the WAISTBAND, widest part of the HIPS, widest part of the THIGH on one leg and width of the CUFF, then double those measurements

WAIST - find the smallest part of the garment if there isn't an obvious seam for the waist and measure across and then double that measurement.

 LENGTH - Measure from the top of the waistband to the bottom of the cuff along the side seam.
HIPS - Find the largest part of the hip area and measure flat, then double that measurement. RISE - Measure from the crotch to the top of the waistband.
LENGTH - from the nape of the neck or the top of the shoulders, depending on the style of garment. We will measure to the waist when applicable, so that you can determine if it will fit your torso,  and then a waist down measurement. INSEAM - Measure from the crotch to the bottom of the cuff along the inside seam.

SLEEVES - measure from the top of the shoulder seam to the end of the sleeve.  When we think that the arm opening is particularly small, we will provide that measurement as well.**



*Fabrics with stretch will have some give, we will try to mention the range of measurements that will fit comfortably.

**With dolman sleeves, the size is an estimation based on the waist as the body seamlessly joins the sleeve.
