Item X2418WD4

Label: None
Very nice satin thick rayon dress with textured vertical grooves in dress. It's just a little wrinkled from storage -- may be deadstock. Has one little backed pinhole that is invisible. It has a distinctly 20s cut to it with a drop waist but I do believe it's 40s since it's weightier material.
