Vintage Black & White Gothic Wednesday-Inspired Button Front Midi Dress | Contrast Collar & Cuffs – Approx. Small

Such a beautiful and unique vintage black and white dress with the perfect romantic gothic feel. The dramatic black silhouette paired with the contrasting white statement collar and white cuffs gives it a wonderfully classic, slightly spooky schoolgirl-inspired look, perfect for anyone who loves a Wednesday-inspired aesthetic, gothic vintage fashion, or simply a beautiful black-and-white statement dress.

The dress features a fitted bodice with a defined waist before opening into a long, full skirt. Textured horizontal detailing throughout the black fabric adds dimension while maintaining the elegant monochromatic appearance. A row of black buttons runs down the front, giving the dress a beautiful traditional vintage finish.

The back features a small upper-back cutout/keyhole-style opening. It is not a fully open-back dress—the opening is concentrated toward the upper back and adds just a little unexpected detail while still providing plenty of coverage.

The material has some stretch, making the dress a little more flexible when worn.

This garment appears to have originally been designed to accommodate a belt; however, the original belt is NOT included and appears to be missing. The dress is beautiful worn exactly as it is, or the buyer can easily add a belt of their choice to create a more defined waist.

No brand or original size label was located during inspection. Based on visual assessment, it appears approximately comparable to a Small, but this is an estimate only. Please use the measurements provided below to determine potential fit.

Fit cannot be guaranteed based on height, weight, usual clothing size, or another brand’s sizing.

VINTAGE GARMENT NOTE — PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING

Pre-owned vintage condition. Each garment is carefully inspected prior to listing and we make every reasonable effort to identify and disclose notable flaws, damage, staining, discoloration, alterations, missing components, or other condition concerns observed during inspection.

This particular garment is missing its original belt, which has been specifically disclosed in this listing.

Vintage and pre-owned clothing is not new and should not be expected to present exactly like newly manufactured clothing. Even when a garment presents beautifully overall, minor or subtle characteristics associated with age, previous wear, handling, laundering, alterations, and storage may be present.

These may include light surface wear, faint marks, subtle discoloration or fading, small pulls or snags, loose threads, slight pilling, minor seam or hem wear, minor fabric or texture variations, light wear to buttons or buttonholes, minor stretching, previous repairs or alterations, or other small characteristics consistent with a previously owned vintage garment.

We carefully inspect every garment before listing; however, it is not possible to guarantee that every microscopic, extremely subtle, concealed, or difficult-to-see imperfection will be detected. Any notable condition issue observed during our inspection is disclosed to the best of our ability through the written description and/or photographs.

Please carefully review ALL listing photographs before purchasing. Photographs are an important part of the garment’s condition description. We encourage buyers to zoom in and examine the white collar and cuffs, black fabric, buttons and buttonholes, waist, underarms, sleeves, back opening, seams, hem, interior, and all other areas shown.

Descriptive terms regarding the garment’s texture or appearance are intended only to describe how the piece looks and feels and should not be interpreted as confirmation of a specific fiber composition.

COLOR & PHOTOGRAPHY

The garment is black with contrasting white details. We make every reasonable effort to represent colors accurately; however, black and white fabrics can appear somewhat different depending on lighting, photography, exposure, and individual screen settings.
