VTG 1940-1950 Black Illusion Dress Crepe Rayon Lace Draped Hips Pencil Elegant

Measurements: pit to pit 32”, waist 28”, hips 38”, shoulder to hem 50”. Hedy Lamar elegant style. Elegant pencil wiggle dress. Draped fabric at hips with bow at back. Nude lined, black lace bodice. Dropped waist. Dolman style short sleeves, deep neck front and back. Back metal zipper. Front slit. Many have listed this dress as 1930s-1940. I have listed it as 40s-50s as this dress has back metal zipper and earlier dresses had side zippers or keyholes neck. Due to the hip construction of the dress it could very well be 40s. The fabric and lace appear to have no holes. The lining has discolorations. Dress needs dry cleaning.
