Details: This gown dates to the early 1940's and is fashioned of a fine black crepe fabric with the sleeves cut to rise over the shoulder cutting into the underarm.  A steel zipper encloses at its side and a removable clip is attached at the V neckline, it could use a spot of glue and one additional rhinestone. 

 Two pinhead holes are seen on the front of the right shoulder but they are easily stitched to unseen and a half inch open seam in the skirting is in need of a stitch.

  There is a mild surface scuff, I believe it is dust at a small point beneath the waist and several points on the hem as it has been in estate storage, but none the less, a wonderful and most dramatic early 1940's gown, wear it with a full underlay for a more dramatic effect as the bottom sweep measures a full 210 inches around, the small surface points are unseen due to the massive volume. The piece is large in size, measuring 44/36 with 58 inches in its length.
