A B O U T

An fantastic example of 1940s sophistication, this black gabardine dress captures the era’s refined tailoring and sculpted silhouette. Expertly cut to accentuate the waist and hips, it features a striking asymmetrical bodice with a cropped overlay that ties neatly at the side—an elegant design detail that nods to the decade’s love of structure and subtle drama. A column of oversized, glossy black buttons with fine gold striping runs down the front, lending a touch of Art Deco-inspired glamour. The bodice closes with a hidden front zipper beneath the overlay, ensuring a smooth, figure-flattering fit. Three-quarter sleeves, a high neckline, and softly padded shoulders complete the classic 1940s silhouette, while the fine wool gabardine drapes beautifully with just the right amount of structure. In excellent condition, freshly dry cleaned and ready to wear.
