J. Mendell vintage cocktail dress 1920's size 6 black sleeveless center lace panel beaded waist
Gorgeous, classy and stunning this rare piece is true vintage and a style you won’t find anywhere else. In silk and crepe this black cocktail dress has a pleated pencil skirt and topped with a pixie collar sleeveless bodice, with a cut out lace center. Open back that no one would ever guess until you turn around. Very young Audrey Hepburn or a 1920s jazz club. Heavily beaded at that waist.
18" pit to pit
14" across waist
40" long
(Mannequin is an extra small)
In excellent vintage condition overall. Some small pulls on the skirt that are not obvious unless looking for imperfections.
Lace panel is lined

Hi, could you let me know the waist measurement? Thanks!

@emilygrace83 sorry about that, I don’t know how I missed, including them! I’ll have them to you a little later tonight. Thank you for your interest.

@photolight Thank you so much! Do you have any idea how old the dress might actually be?

@emilygrace83 hi there, I can ask the friend who I’m selling it for? I know she wore it probably 15/20 years ago and it was considered vintage then.

@emilygrace83 it is in really good condition. I do disclose any flaws in my listings.

@photolight I would be curious if you don’t mind! I’m really considering it, it’s such a one of a kind dress.

@emilygrace83 I just texted her and will definitely get back to you as soon as I have an answer. Honestly, it is stunning. That panel on the front is incredible and just like that period of time and the quality that they made back then, like I’ve only seen the movies. And then the back of it speaks for itself. :-) haha I do think it may have been shortened a little, but the actual length is what’s in my listing

@photolight Thanks so much, I’d love to hear how old it is when you get an answer. It really is gorgeous.

@emilygrace83 hi there, OK, so I am totally off. She said it’s only 10 years old she thinks, and a max of 20.
