Original Gunne Sax Black Velvet 1920's Style Drop Waist Dress

  

This gothic dress makes me happy. This gorgeous dress features dark, inky black velvet; dramatic 1920s styling, with decadent lace details and a dropped waist; darling puffed shoulders; and tons of pleats where the waist meets the skirt. The lace feels like cotton lace and I suspect it may be an add on (the second layer of lace and the cuffs were sewn on using white thread) This trim is 100 times better than any other trim I have found on any other Gunne Sax Dress.

2 Layers of White Cotton Lace Trim. Large Boat Collar with White Lace Trim. Dropped Waist in a Diamond Pattern. Shoulder to shoulder 16.5 in. One 2mm light tea spot stain on the left hand collar lace, nearly invisible.

Please note items are between 40-150 years old. As they are vintage items it is always a good plan to plan to have the items taken to your local green dry cleaner before wearing. Some items may be wrinkled from storage. I do my best to catalog any flaws I find in the description of the item.

It also helps me to feed my increasingly finicky cat who now only wants the most expensive cat food. This item is in the category "Clothing, Shoes & Accessories\Women\Women's Clothing\Dresses".
