This is a fabulous quality black silk 1940s evening dress.  This 1940s evening dress is made in a short sleeved full length sheath style.  It has a V shaped neckline and the bodice is gathered below the bust.  The midriff is finely smocked - quite amazing work that I’ve never seen previously.  There is a semi-transparent inset around the waist - it is irregularly sewn, so I’m unsure if this was added to lengthen the midriff.  You can see a shadow along the bottom of the insert but this is extra material that should have been tacked down.  Personally, I would simply cover this area with a wide belt in a similar fabric.  The dress has a peplum around the hips and there is a pleated floating panel down the front of the skirt.  This 1940s evening dress is unlined and does up at the side with a metal zipper. 

Label: None

Material: Beautiful quality silk chiffon

Sizing: No size is indicated on this 1940s evening dress, and although this should fit a tall medium to large size, please note the following measurements for fit, taking into account the style of the dress:

Shoulders:  15 1/2” across from one shoulder/sleeve seam to the other shoulder/sleeve seam

Sleeves:  9 1/2” from the shoulder/sleeve seam

Bust:  40” around, but should fit loosely

Waist:  29” around

Hips:  40” around

Length:  61” measured flat

Condition:  Aside from the aforementioned insert at the waist, it is in excellent condition with no pronounced wear, tear, stains or odour.  This 1940s evening dress looks to have seen little use and has been well cared for over the years.

This is a high quality 1940s evening dress with movie star style - classic and timeless!

Beautiful Genuine Leather Tote That Will Age Well
Color: Coffee, Color: Coffee
I ordered this SV Retro leather tote in the coffee color, and this is actually my second bag from this brand. I absolutely fell in love with the first smaller purse I tried from them, so I was excited to see how this larger tote version compared. The leather is the real deal. It has that natural look where you can see the grain and slight variations that tell you it is genuine leather. The bag feels sturdy and well constructed, and the zipper is strong and smooth. It has both a top handle and a removable shoulder strap, which gives you a few ways to carry it. ⚡ Real World Highlights ⚡ Genuine leather with beautiful natural grain ⚡ Large tote size that can hold a 13 inch laptop and more ⚡ Multiple interior pockets including zip and slot pockets ⚡ Strong zipper and sturdy construction ⚡ Top handle plus removable shoulder strap for versatility ⚡ Classic coffee color that works with almost anything Inside the bag there are plenty of pockets which makes organizing everything really easy. There is a zip pocket, multiple slot pockets, and plenty of room for everyday items like a wallet, phone, notebook, and even a small laptop. The only reason I am giving this one four stars is that it is not quite as eye catching as the smaller bag I ordered previously. I feel like a wider guitar style strap would have added a little more personality and comfort to the design. I may actually swap one from another bag to see how it looks. That said, this is still a beautiful, durable leather tote that feels like it will last for many years. With proper care, this is the kind of bag that will age nicely and develop even more character over time.

A Polished Leather Tote That Looks Right at Home in the Office 👜
Color: Coffee, Color: Coffee
This leather tote has a really beautiful, structured look that feels both classic and professional. The leather has that rich, slightly vintage finish that gives it character, and the shape holds nicely whether it’s carried by the top handle or worn with the shoulder strap. I actually got this for my daughter-in-law, who is a trial attorney and needs something that looks polished and put-together in court, and this bag really delivers that look. It’s roomy enough to carry her essentials comfortably, and the zip-top closure keeps everything secure. The interior is thoughtfully laid out with pockets that make it easy to stay organized without digging around, and the bag itself feels sturdy without being overly heavy. It works just as well for everyday use, but definitely has that elevated, professional style that makes it stand out a bit more than a typical tote. ⭐ Bottom Line: A structured, professional-looking leather bag that combines style, organization, and everyday functionality—great for work, commuting, or anyone who wants a polished look.

Real leather, soft and lightweight
Color: Brown, Color: Brown
This medium sized leather tote bag is well made, with tight stitching; heavy duty, gunmetal colored hardware; and a thick, dark gray fabric lining on the inside. There are 2 short, rounded handles that do not fold down, and a narrow, flat, detachable crossbody strap that can be adjusted in length. The style is simple and classic, with a hand-dyed brown finish that will go well with most outfits. It's versatile, being suitable for work or everyday use. It can carry a small laptop or tablet, along with other essential items. There are no outside pockets, but inside there are several. The central compartment is spacious, with 2 slip pockets on one side. There are also 2 zippered pockets, with a large open pocket separating them. The top of the bag has a full, metal zipper that seems good quality. This bag is very attractive as well as functional, and though the leather feels lightweight the bag seems durable. Its listed price is a little high for my budget, but a coupon offer currently makes it a good value. I was very surprised that there is no logo or branding of any kind visible on the outside of this bag, and only one name label stitched to a pocket on the inside. Many bags I see have prominent names, symbols, or initials on the outside, and sometimes all over the inside lining as well. The simplicity of this bag is a refreshing change as it lets the quality speak for itself. I like it!
