Piped Taffeta Cocktail Dress M

So sophisticated! This timeless taffeta cocktail dress has a fitted bodice with a nipped in waist and a very full midi length skirt. The softly rounded neckline and cap sleeves feature deco-style black on black piping in swooping shapes that are echoed throughout the skirt for a paneled effect. The perfect little black dress, it looks great with some sparkly jewelry and a metallic belt at the waist. Ready for a twirl! No maker label, very nice quality, circa 1940s/50s.
