evening 1940s cocktail dress 1940s Evening Gown One Shoulder Black Dress Size M For You by BlanesThis is a stylish one shoulder black dress from the 1940s. This vintage evening gown features a draped bodice and three tiered skirt. It has stays to keep the bodice in place two stays at the front and one in the back on the side without the strap.

This is a stylish one shoulder black dress from the 1940s. This vintage evening gown features a draped bodice and three tiered skirt. It has stays to keep the bodice in place - two stays at the front and one in the back on the side without the strap. I am uncertain if there should be a 4th stay on the side where the strap is. It has a long metal zipper down the back.

Age: 1940s / early 1950s

Label: For you by Blanes

Blanes was a London company that made evening and day dresses from the 1940s through to the 1960s.

Color: Black

Fabric: Rayon Chiffon with taffeta lining.

No size is indicated, but this should fit a medium size - please note the following measurements for fit:

Bust: 34"

Waist: 25"

Hips: 38 " meant to fall loosely

Length: 57"

Condition:

This dress is in good condition with some small condition problems. There are about 10 very teensy holes in the chiffon in the bottom tier of the dress and one 1" tear to the chiffon near the hemline of the dress. The lining is also torn away around the zipper area at the skirt area.  None of this is that noticeable and certainly could be worked on to either eliminate or diminish the damage.

Despite the small problems, this is a lovely evening gown from a very glamorous period.

Great shirt!
Color: White, Size: X-Large
This shirt is all that! It's beautiful and feels soft yet very stable fabric. White is always somewhat see through but this one isn't bad, unless you wore black under it. My husband loves it!

Very comfortable, fits nicely with my not-so-flat tummy, gorgeous color
Color: Blue, Size: XX-Large, Color: Blue, Size: XX-Large
This is a very comfortable shirt. It feels cool when you wear it and it's slinky soft against your skin. It arrived with fold marks, but those fell out nicely after a few hours hanging. So this is a no-iron shirt for sure, which I love. I haven't tested the stain shield claims but am familiar with this material so I believe it will resist stains. It does dry quickly when damp. I love the blue color I chose. It's bright and cheerful but not tacky. The photos I posted are pretty close. The material is thick and feels like quality fabric. The stitching is single-stitch, which makes me feel that it's maybe not as durable as double stitched or crossover stitched hems. But regardless, the stitching is tight and the hems are even. The button holes durable and the firmly sewn buttons match the fabric very closely. The fit is very nice. I'm a bit stout, so slim fit shirts are too tight across my stomach if they fit in the shoulders, or too loose in the shoulders if they fit my middle. The cut of this shirt is a good compromise and it looks very nice. And the slight stretch of the fabric makes it very comfortable when I'm moving around. The collar is stiff enough to sit nicely and not flop too much. This shirt is great for casual wear but looks nice enough for a more dressy situation. I think it's a good price for a very nice shirt.
