Vintage Black Crepe Dress with Intricate Sequin and Bead Detail and Peplum, ca 1940s

This pretty dress is in excellent vintage condition: I can find no flaws other than 1 missing button in the back an 1 missing soft shoulder pad.. Please be sure to note the beautiful black beading and sequin detail around the neckline in the front and the flattering - peplum front; note, too, the keyhole effect at the top of the back, made by the self covered buttons and the iconic ruched shoulders.

Approximate measurements:
shoulder to shoulder: 15"
armpit to armpit: 18"
waist (flat): 15"
hips (flat): 19"
back length: 41"
sleeves: 9"
