The original owner had a massive wardrobe of designer and custom made pieces.  This is a gorgeous example.  It is wearable but could stand a little TLC.  \u003cbr\u003eThis is a full length velvet gown with an empire waist and A-line silhouette.  The dress is a heavy black velvet with hemstitch details at the bust, hem, and running vertically.  The wide bell sleeves are sheer lace, and were probably not original to the dress.  There are velvet shoulder straps with bows at the front and back, but the left side has a rhinestone brooch instead of a bow.  The straps were also likely added on after the fact. \u003cbr\u003eThe dress has no tags at all, and has a metal zipper closure at the left side.  \u003cbr\u003eThe inside of the dress is fully lined with tulle from the waist down, to help give the skirt some structure.  \u003cbr\u003eCondition issues are mostly not impacting wear.  \u003cbr\u003eThe straps would benefit from some reinforcement if you choose to keep them on. \u003cbr\u003eThe tulle lining is separating at some of the vertical seams (but is secure in the skirt, not falling out)\u003cbr\u003eThe hem is loose in a 7\" segment.  \u003cbr\u003eThere is a spot of wear to the velvet, next to the zipper, shown in photos. And the bottom edge of the hem is torn in several areas along the fold, shown in photos. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis has no tags, but measures like a modern size small and is shown on a size small model.
