This is a recent find, stately and elegant with no fuss or decoration. Just a lovely cut, well-fitting sheath that falls to the floor.

I love black velvet, and this is sumptuous. Not the velveteen that was quite popular during that decade . . . . . .. This dress, I feel sure, was custom-tailored. It’s done very well, but seems to have the hallmarks of hand-construction.

I’ll be keeping this one for a LONG time . . . . . . . . . . .
