Vintage 1940s Dress with Bead Flower and Peplum

Classic 1940s vintage black rayon dress with an incredible beaded flower and a keyhole neckline. There is a half peplum at the waist that ends in a dramatic little swag at one hip and short butterfly sleeves. Side metal zipper. Medium Large size, I'd say. Label says: none. There are the remains of one inside a sleeve though but it's been cut away.

Excellent vintage condition. The only thing worth noting is...well nothing really. Its nearly mint. There may be a very tiny bit of color fade overall, but it's not noticeable really.

I do my utmost best to list any issues, but signs of wear should be expected, and there are occasionally small things I won't deem worthy of note.
