Just loving this darling little black dress..
1950’s vintage..
2 separate tags..Jonny Herbert Original..
And the other tag reads Erica Arthur, Aurora Colorado..
maybe the boutique or department store the dress was sold at..
Coal black pleated chiffon..super soft..
Gorgeous tailoring to the bodice..
The bust is overlaid with pleated chiffon and little buttons..
The waist is fitted and snatched and gives a fantastic silhouette…
Cute little shoulder straps..
Piping detail at the pointed waist..
The skirt is gathered pleated chiffon with a lovely full sweep..midi length..
Fully lined with gorgeous black taffeta..
Zips up the back with a metal zipper.
Very good condition…has some purplish discoloration at the underarm and some small underarm repairs..lining shows most of the discoloration..light seam stress at the bodice from wear..the skirt has been hemmed up several inches..can be taken back down but will leave sone small stitch holes..really a spectacular dress with some small issues and lots of life left
