1950s Black Chantilly Lace Peplum Cocktail Dress

This enchanting 1950s black Chantilly lace cocktail dress is unlabelled and we believe it to be American in origin. It is a silk cotton blend with a Chantilly lace overlay and features a pleated satin sash waistband with a diamanté pin brooch affixed to the left. It has half-length sleeves, falls at the knee and boasts a plunging neckline at the reverse to reveal the upper back and shoulders. The lace overlay finishes at the mid thigh to create a peplum effect and a little extra volume. There is a central zip fastening at the reverse and the bodice is fully lined in black. Perfect for parties, this fabulous piece would fit up to US size 8, UK 12. Our model is a UK 8-10 and 5ft 11in (180 cm) and this dress was roomy on her.
