This striking black rayon dress is ready for cocktail hour at the jazz club. Made from the slinkiest mid-weight rayon crepe it is lightweight and unlined but not sheer and could easily be layered for cooler evenings. A high square neckline paired with drop shoulder sleeves and a straight skirt give the classic 1940s silhouette. Your waist is defined by a straight seam with a pleated dart at the hip, which is mirrored at the neck, giving the overall dress an elegant asymmetric drape. Side zipper. Topped off with a classy padded yellow hibiscus applique.
