Elegant black silk shantung gown for formal occasions.
Full length, straight gown with a slightly raised waistline has been dyed to black. The hem, neckline and armholes are trimmed with looped rouleaus in the same fabric. Little silk rosettes and flowers adorn the bodice and are highlighted with beads and sequins and there is piping at the waist. There is a vent at centre back. Closes at the back with a metal zipper. No labels, it is a custom made garment - 1960s.
