Vintage 50’s/60’s Artex handmade black lace Victorian long duster

Vintage Artex black lace long duster/dress. From between the 1950’s to 60’s. This is a rare piece-the grommet loops weren’t commonly seen in mass-produced fashion, and the "Fashioned by Artex" tag puts it squarely in that earlier, more couture-inspired phase of their output. Victorian gothic yet so chic. Black lace with nude lining. Puff shoulders. Due to this vintage piece being 70+ years old, the fabric is extremely delicate. No size tag but measures as a small-approximately 27” bust & 56” length. The nude lining does have some at the bottom damage, but the lace is fine. Such a beautiful couture-style piece.
