This is a lovely black chiffon cocktail dress dating to the early 1960s, maybe late 1950s.  The ILGWU union label that is affixed to the interior was in use from 1955 until 1963.  The label reads “Carol Robins” with a graphic of a cocktail glass, so definitely, this dress was meant for cocktail parties.  Carol Robins appears to have been a popular brand for party dresses through the 1950s and 60s, but I haven’t found any information on the company.

The dress has a high rounded neckline, short sleeves and is made in a knee length.  It is constructed with a semi-transparent black chiffon fabric over a rayon taffeta base.  The top of the base taffeta lining is cut in a pointed zig-zag design, front and back, to wonderful effect.  It has two spaghetti straps.  The upper bodice, back and sleeves are chiffon only.   The dress has a defined waistline and the skirt is gathered in tucks below the waist so that the skirt falls in drapes.  The chiffon at the upper back hooks at the neckline and forms a peek-a-boo gap.  The dress closes at the back with a fine tooth metal zipper.

Sizing: No size is indicated, but according to my measurements, this should fit a extra small or small size - please rely on the following measurements for fit:

Bust:  33” around, taken under the arms

Waist:  24” around

Hips:  46” around, meant to fall loosely

Overall length:  39", measured flat from the top of the spaghetti straps to the hemline

Condition:  It is in very good, clean condition with no wear, tear, holes, stains or odors.  This dress has been very well cared for and stored over the years.  

This is a gorgeous dress - sophisticated look, sure to be noticed!

Will be buying more for the hubby for summer time.
Color: Beige, Size: Large
I was a little nervous buying this shirt as an anniversary gift for my husband but its actually really nice quality and the color wwas pretty accurate and he wants more!! Hes about 5'9" 190lbs and I ordered a Large and it fits him very nice. The material is very lightweight and so soft. Its definitely on the dressy side. I feel that the wrinkle quality is pretty good to because when. It came out of the package there wasn't much wrinkling and when it was folded there wasn't much either.

Looks great, however had size issue
Color: Blue, Size: Small
I ordered the small, however the sleeves were too long and will return it. The shirt looked great and seemed to be of very good quality. Certainly would have kept it if not for the sleeves.

Excellent!!
Color: Beige, Size: Large
Really loved these shirts for my hubby. They were pretty good quality shirts. Love the linen material. Also love the buttons on the collar which my husband prefers to wear with his jackets. They are very comfortable. As far as size, I ordered according to the size chart. He typically wears a size Large. According to the size chart an XL would best so that’s what I ordered. But I truly believe that a size L would’ve been better. So I would say they are true to size. My husband weighs 205, and has muscles and a size L would’ve been just fine. I ordered 3 because I loved them. I’ll stay with the XL. But if I were to order more I’ll preorder a Large. Very happy with this purchase. They are not slim fit either. Just for an FYI.

Quality + Fit + Value - VERY pleasantly surprised!
Color: Black, Size: Large
I stand at 6.0125" 200lb (showing signs of a Dad bod)., and the large was a perfect fit for me. The quality exceeded expectations, perfect thickness and weight for the colder months. I actually set this up between a Boss & Ted Baker (my-go's to in past 10-years) and asked my date to pick one of three - she grabbed this shirt. if you're looking to re-evaluate how much your spend on dress shirts - this Brand will not disappoint in terms of quality and fit. If your wearing brands like Express, Banana or even worse - Untuck-it, consider this a marginal upgrade. I'm going to by a few more and I'll update if anything changes.

Great shirt
Color: Beige, Size: Medium
Great fit, seemed like thin to medium weight fabric which is perfect for him. Lil with any linen blends, they wrinkle so it is more of a casual wear. Washes great and is super soft when wearing.
