Stunning vintage dress from the 1930s in black velvet ( I believe silk velvet) by the incredible designer Kiviette--more on her below. The black on this is so deep it was very hard to photograph correctly, I've done my best. Snaps on the side. Pleats at either shoulder and shoulder pads. The sleeves on this are just incredible. Keyhole back. Gorgeous fishtail in the back of the skirt. Matching velvet tie belt at the waist. About a small to medium I'd say. Kivette was the design name for Yetta Schminski. She was a leading designer for Broadway from the late teens to the late 1940s. And for society ladies into the 50s. She designed for such stars as Fred Astaire and his sister, and Lee Merriweather. Her dresses are rare, much sought after and highly collectible. This extraordinary dress is certainly one of the most incredible pieces I've ever had the distinct pleasure to have in my shop. It will be shipped with full insurance and care. Label reads: Kiviette, and there is a second label that declares this to be An original design registered by a member of Fashion Originators Guild. Excellent vintage condition. It appears the seam up the middle of the bodice has been resewn at some point and I did spot a fingernail paring sized hole at the top of the side snaps. Measurements when lying flat. Doubled at bust, waist and hip Armpit to armpit across bust: 43" Waist: 28" Hips: 37" Shoulder to waist: 16" Shoulder to bottom hem: 58" Please note: These are vintage, preworn and/or pre
