"This 1950s little black dress is constructed of cotton eyelet, so it could be enjoyed for day or evening use! The bow at the neckline and the rhinestone buttons add a little extra elegant flare, too. Features: + Scoop neckline with ribbon tie detail + Shirtwaist style with plastic and rhinestone buttons down front of bodice + Ribbon detail on sleeve cuffs + Dress is semi-sheer due to eyelet fabric, no lining + Fastens on side with a metal zipper + Freshly laundered and ready to wear Black is probably not quite as dark as it used to be but has a light overall fade instead of being more faded in certain areas. There appears to be a vintage repair to the back of the dress that is sturdy and really well done, very hard to notice (see last photo). Loops for a belt but no belt.
