Classy cocktail dress by
French designer Pierre Balmain. The cut and details seen in this dress are
fabulous. Beautiful neckline and gathers with dolman sleeves. The side
gathers on the front of the skirt remind me of the dirndl style. This
dress was a little too large for my mannequin (dress has a 28 inch waist).
Fastens up the back with a long metal zipper and hooks/eyes. Super
condition, I did notice a couple very minor and tiny pulls. Belt loops,
but no belt. I have difficulty photographing black, so I took a few
additional photos outside in natural light (sorry for the wrinkles) which
lightens enough to see details. Dress is a true dark black all over, not
as washed out as it appears in the last photos. Wonderful dress for the
vintage collector!
** Purse shown in photos is not
included with this auction item and can be purchased separately. **
Fabulous Gently Worn Condition.
