In the 1950s and 1960s the black wool dress was a staple in every women's closet. Just add some pearls and you have a wonderful dress for the evening. This wonderful home made dress was right in syle in those days with the darted front and cross over neckline. Three quarter length sleeves. Metal zipper. Size 8. In excellent shape, no rips or tears. Is missing the belt. Just been dry cleaned.
