Everyone needs a black dress and this is a really good one! This classic 1940s rayon crepe will make an excellent addition to your vintage collection. I love how the sequin and beading appliqué is placed not only on the chest but down the arm. This diagonal is echoed in the peplum on the skirt. Such lovely attention to detail! You could wear this for a cocktail occasion (with some platform '40s heels of course!) or add some serious jewelry and take this dress all the way to black tie.
