27 Vintage Dresses of February #19

Black + Gold = Drama. This chic 1950's dress by Mr. Mort is available from VFG member Fuzzielizzie.

Stan Herman was the designer at Mr. Mort, and this dress shows why the company was a popular one with young, sophisticated women. The bodice on this beautiful vintage dress is made from beautiful golden beige on black lace, criss-crossed with satin ribbon. The skirt is sheer and very full.

The back of the neckline is a deep V, with a metal zipper closing beneath, highlighted with satin ribbon bows. The sleeves are cut as one piece with the bodice, and are 3/4 length.
