1940's Womens Cocktail Dress

40s -Forever Young Jean Farrell Paris- Womens black raw silk mid length cocktail dress with beaded fauna design in amazing detail along v-neckline, shoulder pads with single drop pleats at caps and taper cut longsleeves with darted elbows. Dress has two metal zip closures, one at back neckline and other at right hip. This little cutie in a hard to find size for the era has delicate bias cut drop panels down skirt starting at empire waistline. Dress has tiny hard to spot thread pulls down bodice that I was not daring enough to snip. (Huge Dress Sale! reg $190.00)
