vintage silky black velvet 1930s to 1940s evening dress with bejewelled bodice yellow Waist 27” to 28” maxSoft black velvet, side metal zip fastening which I think may be an addition.

Slight remains of cowl neck and shoulder tuck darting, gold glass bugle beaded bodice with wonderful jewel toned cabochons. Self tie
