Details:

Such a piece of couture! This dress dates to the 1930’s and is made of a dove gray jersey material. The top of the dress has enclosed bands beneath each arm, with the fabric ruched over the top. Wide bands of gold lame with sequins strap its top, and each strap measures an inch in width.  

When turned over, netting backs each band and snaps with tabs are at three points on each band to hold the strap of a slip in place if the slip is desired to be worn.  A steel zipper is enclosed at one side and a self covered belt backed in gray leather wraps the waist.  The dress comes with its matching jacket, which is also trimmed in the lame, and the interior of the jacket as well as the top of the dress is lined in a matching dove gray silk crepe.  

The Bergdorf Goodman label is enclosed in the jacket.  The jacket has one pinhead sized hole, which I have pictured that is just aside of the gold lame on the right bust.  Several pinhead holes are in the sweep of the dress, just above the bottom hem but are localized to one three inch area and I simply would give a stitch to hide.  One of the shoulder bands at the top needs the netting and sequins seamed two inches in length.  None the less, a truly excellent ensemble.  

Measures 36/30/42, 54 inches in its length, and a bottom sweep measuring 72 inches around with the jacket measuring 15 inches in its length.
