About the Item

1940s black velvet evening gown featuring an elegant lace capelet overlay adorned with hand-set rhinestones. The fitted velvet bodice is suspended from narrow straps and transitions into a softly dropped waist defined by horizontal pin tuck detailing before falling into a fluid floor-length skirt. The ecru lace capelet drapes across the shoulders and upper bodice, offering dimensional contrast against the deep black velvet while catching light through scattered rhinestone accents. A refined example of mid-1940s evening wear, balancing wartime restraint with romantic embellishment.
