Vintage, STUNNING, and rare! This 100% Italian wool black dress is SPECIAL. If you love wearing a stylish conversation piece, this may just be the dress you need.

The combination of quality, structural elegance, and knit comfort shows in how incredible of shape she is at56-66 years old.
After extensively looking her over, I found one small snag on the left hip, and some general, light fuzziness that can be cleaned up with a clothing shaver, and a brand tag that could be quickly sewed on one side.
She does have a very slight vintage smell, but no smoke or heavy, weird smells. You could have her dry cleaned if you\'d like, or just a quick dance through your favorite perfume. She truly is ready to wear exactly as she is! I did not want to interfere with her beauty and leave to her new owner\'s discretion.
❤️ Style Note: Because she is special, I paired her with some accessories that I thought looked so amazing, I am including free with the dress. :) They are a stunning Oma the Label frosty link necklace and a Quince cashmere and silk wrap (pictured). The silhouette created with the addition of the wrap was just chef\'s kiss perfection.💜 Personal note: This is the first item offered as part of the \'take me with you\' initiative, a travel page and closet I created in memory of my best friend of 31 years, Mandy Pless, who passed in April 2026 from colorectal cancer. 10% of all proceeds from the sale of travel finds and related items will go to the Cleveland Clinic Oncology Group, who helped keep her with us for 9 years, 7 years longer than was ever anticipated. Another 10% will go to her daughters, who she loved more than life.
