It appears to be a haute couture piece, probably made in the 1950s, for a specific client. The waltz length dress has a dropped waist with an asymmetrical, ruched black velvet bustline. The skirt is quite full and would look fuller than it appears here with a petticoat underneath. It both hooks and zips on the side; the zipper is metal. The exterior shell is made with the finest green silk taffeta and lined in green silk; the black velvet is probably also silk. The zipper has been sewn in by hand, and there is also a great deal of hand stitching on the interior of the dress  - additional signs that it came from a couture atelier in Milan. As you can see in the photos, the bust of the dress is smaller than our mannequin. The measurements indicate that it is a size 0 or XXS. Please refer to the measurements for the best guidance regarding size.*\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMEASUREMENTS\u003cbr\u003e- Chest is 30\"  \u003cbr\u003e- Waist is just shy of 26\" \u003cbr\u003e- Hips are free.\u003cbr\u003e- Length is 39\" down side seam. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eCONDITION\u003cbr\u003eExcellent condition structurally with a few very inconspicuous spots on the green silk.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"italian-dressing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42727731527833,"sku":"YNKK8V","price":219.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0118\/0132\/9723\/products\/product-image__meh9hW-compressed.png?v=1665804933","url":"https:\/\/shopthrilling.mom\/products\/40s-50s-beautiful-green-and-black-silk-waltz-length-gown-by-viani","provider":"THRILLING","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
