Made in the most sumptuous black faille and decorated with knotted and stitched tassels, along horizontal lines of running stitches, this elegant 1950's little black dress is just the piece for your cocktail wardrobe.
The eye-catching notched and rounded neckline is framed by a simple shoulder line and short capped sleeves. The fitted bodice is accented by tailored darts beneath the bust-line and a zip fastening along the side seam. The cinched in waistline, draws the eye to the elegant cut of the skirt, that boasts double pleats and side pockets along each side of the front of the hipline, setting off the simple straight line of the skirt.
