This quality black silk evening gown dates to the late 50s or early 60s and is a beautifully crafted strapless gown.  The bodice is gathered in diagonal pleats that meet at a point at the center of the defined waistline.  It is supported by four stays positioned both front and back.  The skirt of the dress is built in wide pleats and is constructed so as to flare down to a full width at the hemline.  It is made with a train at the back.  The dress is lined in a black silk satin and is entirely hand finished. 

Sizing: This will fit a small size, but please rely on the following measurements for fit, noting in particular the waist:

Bust:  35” around

Waist:  25” around

Hips:  Full, but meant to fall to fit

Length:  47”, measured flat at the center front from the top of the bodice to the hemline and 53” in length at the back, from the top of the low back to the hemline of the train

Weight:  3 lbs and 10 oz. - this is a substantial dress featuring quality fabric

Condition: 

This dress is in very good condition with no pronounced wear, tear, staining or odor - this dress looks to have seen little use and was well cared for over the years.

A bit of information about the couturier.  It was made by Montreal couturier Frank Oujezdsky.  He catered to Montreal socialites and is also noted for having made dresses for Gerda Munsinger, the central character in a Canadian spy and sex scandal involving government ministers during the early 1960s.

This is a gorgeous evening dress - understated, sophisticated and elegant, perfect for a formal occasion.

Flattering fit, great feel, totally worth it
Size: Medium, Color: Black
I had to squeeze my girls in, but I made it work, lol! This was my first time shopping from The Drop and I was so suprised by the quality. It's definitely a heavy dress but I really love how it feels and fits on my body. For context, I ordered a medium, I'm 5'2", 155 lbs, 36DD, and 30in waist. It's tight on my bust but comfortable around my hips and waist, which isn't a big deal. The side zipper kills me though lol so beware, lots of twisting to get that thing shut. BUT still worth it. great dress.

Heavy linen, lined dress
Size: Medium, Color: White
Nice heavy linen. Lined. Has a zipper. Great quality dress. If you like pockets, this dress has them. The skirt is full at the bottom. I would prefer to have less material. The pockets are right at the hip, this is not helpful for those with hips as it adds weight and I am tall and have a nice hourglass shape, but am not looking to have bigger hips . But beautiful dress.
