1960s black lace cocktail dress, glam goth

Vintage 60s Black Chantilly Lace Cocktail Dress 22" Waist • Little Black Dress • Gothic

£64.00 ~~£74.00~~

Gorgeously-gothic but teeny waist, perfect for corset wearers. It's pictured here on a mannequin that's too big so the zip doesn't fit, but there is nothing wrong with it, the zipper works perfectly providing you are small enough for the dress to close.

Delicate black chantilly lace long sleeve, high collar dress.
Zips on the sleeve cuffs
Puffed shoulders
Inner dress lining is covered with silk georgette
open back slit in the lace from collar to waist
the waist will close but both my mannys are too big
inner waist strap

MEASURES laid flat edge to edge:

32" bust
13.5" across shoulder seams
17" sleeve length armpit to cuff
22" waist
26.5" waist to hem
15" shoulder to waist

It's lovely condition but I think the underdress part may have been a later addition and a modern plastic zipper with plastic poppers have been added at later date too. Because of that I'm not entirely sure of age - at a guess 50s with more modern alterations.

SIZING

Vintage sizing is very different to modern day sizes, they’re usually smaller depending on the era of manufacture. So to ensure a good fit please go by the measurements provided. I measure the garment laid flat edge to absolute edge then double, which give the maximum, you will need to measure your own clothes to compare sizing.
