This quality black silk evening gown dates to the late 50s or early 60s and is a beautifully crafted strapless gown.  The bodice is gathered in diagonal pleats that meet at a point at the center of the defined waistline.  It is supported by four stays positioned both front and back.  The skirt of the dress is built in wide pleats and is constructed so as to flare down to a full width at the hemline.  It is made with a train at the back.  The dress is lined in a black silk satin and is entirely hand finished. 

Sizing: This will fit a small size, but please rely on the following measurements for fit, noting in particular the waist:

Bust:  35” around

Waist:  25” around

Hips:  Full, but meant to fall to fit

Length:  47”, measured flat at the center front from the top of the bodice to the hemline and 53” in length at the back, from the top of the low back to the hemline of the train

Weight:  3 lbs and 10 oz. - this is a substantial dress featuring quality fabric

Condition: 

This dress is in very good condition with no pronounced wear, tear, staining or odor - this dress looks to have seen little use and was well cared for over the years.

A bit of information about the couturier.  It was made by Montreal couturier Frank Oujezdsky.  He catered to Montreal socialites and is also noted for having made dresses for Gerda Munsinger, the central character in a Canadian spy and sex scandal involving government ministers during the early 1960s.

This is a gorgeous evening dress - understated, sophisticated and elegant, perfect for a formal occasion.

Nice suit
This 5 piece set is really nice Pros: fits true to sz which allows it to sit nicely The pants have adjustable waist bands The color is as described Material/fabric is not that great but will do (select a neutral color which can prevent it from looking cheap) Perfect for a growing boy who will need another one soon Cons: The tie is little short and is a non adjustable elastic the handkerchief/pocket square does not fit in the faux pocket. If you want an elevated look - wear with a different tie, thicker fabric white shirt and nice shoes

This suit had me questioning whether the manufacturer had ever actually seen a human child before. The pants were SO long — like they were tailored for a 9-year-old with 100 feet of shin. 😂 I had to hem them significantly just to make them wearable for a normal boy. The bow tie was also a letdown. Ours may have arrived defective, but it only seemed to have one hook with nowhere for it to actually attach, so we ended up improvising with the fabric loop. Not exactly the polished wedding-ready moment I was hoping for. The shirt was probably the highlight. It has a subtle textured pattern that makes it feel a little more unique than a standard dress shirt, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the fabric itself is stiff and not particularly comfortable. Overall, the whole set feels pretty cheap quality-wise. BUT… he’s 9. He’ll outgrow it before the next wedding invitation hits the mailbox anyway. 😂 For one day of looking like a dashing young gentleman instead of a tiny tornado in sweatpants, it got the job done. Just definitely not something I’d recommend for peak summer wedding season unless your child enjoys marinating in polyester.

Pretty good fit on my son. I'd say it's true to size. He looked great for his guitar recital.

I really loved the way my son looked in this suit, pants were a bit baggy and big on the waist but I’m glad it was adjustable, the length was perfect.
