40s Vintage Women's Dress Cocktail LBD Pink Satin Rhinestone Accents Medium VFG
What a great little vintage 1940s cocktail dress! Capped raglan sleeves, bodice gently fitted with pleating at the waist. The notched neckline is inset with curving tucked pink satin anchored by a pair of sparkling rhinestone buttons at either end.
SIZE: No size label. Measurements suggest that this may have originally been designed for a petite woman.

FABRIC/COLORS: Black crepe, probably rayon. Inset fabric is light pink satin.
TAGS: No tags
CLOSURES: Two self fabric buttons close a short placket at the back of the neck. There is also a side seam metal zipper.
CONDITION: No flaws noted, no stains, holes, or tears. I have shown the dress in some photos with a fabric belt that is not original to the dress and is not included. In the same photos, I temporarily added shoulder pads. If you like the padded look, it will be a simple matter to baste in a modern pair of your choosing.
I measure the outside of garments, unless stated otherwise.
For menswear, the chest is measured at armpit level.
For womenswear, the bust is measured a little below armpit level, including the room created by darts or gathers.
Waist will be measured if there is one, and hips are measured about 9" below waist level. Sleeves are measured from shoulder seam or an approximation in the absence of a shoulder seam. Garment length is measured from the back of the neck, unless otherwise stated.
The measurement numbers refer to the garment, not the body inside. For best fit, measure a similar type of garment which fits you well and compare.
If the garment is shown on Josephine, my mannequin, her measurements are 31/24.5/34". Sometimes she wears a padded bra. My live models measurements vary depending on the day and year, and I don't ask them to share that.
