] Party Dress R and M Richards Black 19's Inspired Low V-Neck Side Rhinestone Brooches Sheer Mermaid Soft Ruffle Bodycon Made Usa by R & M Richards

With a nod to the past, this vintage R & M Richards 1940's-inspired Little Black Dress features a low cut softly padded bra neckline. Two clear rhinestone brooches accent the side straps where those straps meet the bodice. As you can see this is a bodycon shape with rows of stitched down shaped fabric, which ends in 19 inches of sheer mermaid hemline.

A low cut V shape bodice frames the front neckline. Sleeveless, with modified empire waist line, there is a slight faux wrap lightly padded bra top (yeah, no other bra required here!), a back zipper and black opaque lining to define the shaping for the entire dress. It was well made in the USA.

Size 8 is shown, however the measurements below will help you determine if this will fit you. Please remember that sizing has changed over the years, so do not go by the listed size on the label.

This dress is a classic style that is brought back into fashion often by designers because it is flattering to so many women's figures.
