Rosa Nera | Vintage 1950s 1960s Midnight black Lace bust panel Long-sleeve Elegant Dinner dress with Thin neck-tie

The little black dress - every girl's best friend, no? ;) 

We love colour. But don't get us wrong, we love black too. But we love that black comes in so many different forms, different shades, different structures, different patterns. 

And so this one gives us such a sense of elegance with its jet-blackness, high neckline and long, thin neck-tie. The lace patterned overlay only in the bust area - lifts it instead of weighing it down. And the long, slightly puffy sleeves. 

Pinned?: No.
