1940’s Jordan Marsh Company Black Dress with White Lace

Specifications

Fabric: The crisp, rustling material appears to be silk or rayon taffeta, a fabric that experienced a massive surge in popularity following Christian Dior’s 1947 "New Look". The Silhouette: The shirtwaist button-down bodice combined with a defined, slightly gathered, or pleated waistline is a quintessential hallmark of late 1940s and 1950s daywear and semi-formal dresses. The Trim: The dramatic, oversized Battenberg or Valenciennes-style lace collar and matching wide cuffs were frequently used during this period to soften structured black cocktail and day dresses.
