Cute little black dress from New Look, contemporary but with a 50s cocktail frock vibe to it (we have a similarly styled original in our own wardrobe).

Description

Cute little black dress from New Look, contemporary but with a 50s cocktail frock vibe to it (we have a similarly styled original in our own wardrobe). The dress is sleeveless with a scoop neckline and a good bit of stretch. It features a heavily beaded bodice which hangs freely from the shoulders and a softly pleated floaty skirt. Fully lined with a back zip fastening. We found a couple of minor pulls too the skirt but this is barely noticeable and lost within the soft pleating.

CARE: dry clean
CONDITION: very good
SIZE: labelled UK14, suggested fit UK12

Sizing

Customers are asked to bear in mind that vintage garment sizes bear little or no resemblance to contemporary sizes. Furthermore, current high street size labels are inconsistent, with M&S and Wallis being noted for their generous proportions while others come up on the small side.

Please always refer to the measurements provided in the item description rather than the garment label size, and note that any ‘best fit’ suggestion we make will be based on modern day sizing. By way of example, our own suggested standard size 12 dress has an underarm to underarm measurement of approximately 19" with a waist size of 30".

In order to best gauge the suitability of an item, you may find it useful to compare our stated measurements with those of one of your own garments which is a comfortable fit. Our garment measurements are taken with the item laid flat, and all sizes in our descriptions are approximate.
