1940s Little Black Lacy Wiggle Dress AS IS

Form fitting cocktail dress in black crepe features diagonal bands of lace across bodice and hips. Short sleeves cut as one with bodice Closes with side zipper Hem may be slightly asymmetrical—I didn’t want to pull on the dress and possibly compromise the lace by trying to straighten it.
