A gorgeous little early fifties piece made of a black silk taffeta. The skirt is wonderfully fully and set into the waistline by a series of flat, precise knife pleats on either side of the front with the very center left unpleated and the back left unpleated as well. This allows for fullness of the skirt but a nice trim silhouette for the wearer. The bodice is constructed with as little seaming as possible and the sleeves left shorter and wide. The true beauty of this piece is of course that darling inset peppermint striped front with its charming Peter pan collar and bright pop of color against the black! Excellent condition
