#CRAFT-16- Little Silvery & Black Dress & Lace Jacket Set - $10.00

Measurements - 9 inches long

This dress started out with me intending it to be a 1920s style dress, but I couldn't get the dropped waist right. So I raised the waist and now it is kind of a 1940s style dress. The body of the dress is made of a black rayon and silvery woven metallic thread. The fabric came from the estate of Olga Schwenker. The top of the dress has black silk satin ribbon straps and more ribbon at the waist, which is vintage. The jacket is a great black silk lace from pre-1920s. I have yardage of this rolled on a catalog that is dated 1908.The front of the jacket has tucked neckline and the ribbon at the waist is stitched to it.
