Original 1940s 40s Vintage Dress Black Velvet Taffetta Plaid Bow NecktieThis wonderful dress was made from a black velvet in the 1940s. The garment is most probably handmade and has a v shaped yolk at the bodice, framing the wearers waist beautifully. The neckline is highlighted with a taffeta Puritan collar with a large gathered fabric necktie in a beautiful blue and yellow plaid. The dress still has its original matching velvet fabric belt with a press stud closure, which can be used to cinch in the waist. Bust: 38
