Perfect LBD

Dear readers, you are really in for a treat today! Up for sale this week is a vintage black crepe cocktail dress made by Irving Nadler, Montreal, Canada. (I really want this beautiful black vintage cocktail dress for myself. But life is unfair sometimes, and this dress does not fit me. Hmph.)

My large size is your large gain. This is the most gorgeous, sophisticated, simple, elegant, classic black crepe sheath dress that will never, ever go out of style.

I would guess this dress was custom-made in the 1960's and is of highest quality and tailoring. It is sleeveless with a wide V neckline in the front and back that is trimmed with a row of black sequins. The best part of the dress is the pretty crepe rosette in the front at the tip of the V. It is made of the same fabric as the dress and is a beautiful subtle feminine detail.

There is no size tag, but I would say the dress runs between a size 2 and 4, and the measurements are as follows: 36 in. bust, 26 in. waist, 42 in. hips, and the length from the waistline to the bottom hem is 24 in. Look for it on Shopgoodwill.com later today!

This dress is in perfect condition and will serve you well for years to come as your go-to LBD. It would be appropriate for a summer or winter event, or anything in between. Wear it with black stiletto pumps or black stiletto sandals, but whatever you do, don't forget the stilettos!

Stay classy! (It's hard not to in a dress like this.)
