This elegant 1950s black silk cocktail dress is labelled Lord and Taylor Fifth Avenue, a celebrated American luxury womenswear retailer that was immensely popular during this era. The pure silk dress is beautifully tailored, with subtle rushing over the bust and cap sleeves and skilful pleating over the navel to shape the waistline. There is a gently sloping swan neckline, ankle length skirt that flares slightly from the hip, and a concealed zip fastening at the centre reverse. This timeless piece is of superb quality and in beautiful vintage condition with no flaws to note. Would fit up to US size 4-6, UK size 8-10.
