Glam 50's Black Satin Cocktail Dress Cocktail dress vintage, Black Vintage 50s Cocktail Dress Chantilly Lace Black Silk 1950s Susan Small Exotic 1950's Black & Silver Party Cocktail Dress by wearitagain Vintage 50s Cocktail Dress Chantilly Lace Black Silk 1950s Susan Small Vintage 50s Black Silk Chiffon Formal Cocktail Wedding Party Etsy. An ivory silk shantung collar drapes over the shoulders of this early 1950s black rayon crepe cocktail dress. Wide black velvet ribbon is threaded through the front of the collar and comes to a point at the center back. It is accented with a sparkling rhinestone brooch on the left side (removable for cleaning). The cap sleeves are hidden underneath the wide collar. Medium sized shoulder pads are attached inside. Darts shape the bust area. The straight skirt has a kick pleat in back. The double pleated, diagonal hip pockets are functional. The rayon crepe fabric is semi sheer; it is lined only at the upper front section of the skirt, as you can see from our photos. The dress has a metal zipper at the mid back, but not all the way to the top of the dress. In very good condition, the dress has thread belt loops, but no original belt, and the silk collar is a bit rumpled at the back of the neck, try though we did to steam it flat, after dry cleaning. There is a tiny pinhole in the collar, where the brooch has been moved in the past. This elegant 1950s cocktail dress has a very cute label, Mademoiselle Juliette!
