This is a lovely black chiffon cocktail dress dating to the early 1960s, maybe late 1950s.  The ILGWU union label that is affixed to the interior was in use from 1955 until 1963.  The label reads “Carol Robins” with a graphic of a cocktail glass, so definitely, this dress was meant for cocktail parties.  Carol Robins appears to have been a popular brand for party dresses through the 1950s and 60s, but I haven’t found any information on the company.

The dress has a high rounded neckline, short sleeves and is made in a knee length.  It is constructed with a semi-transparent black chiffon fabric over a rayon taffeta base.  The top of the base taffeta lining is cut in a pointed zig-zag design, front and back, to wonderful effect.  It has two spaghetti straps.  The upper bodice, back and sleeves are chiffon only.   The dress has a defined waistline and the skirt is gathered in tucks below the waist so that the skirt falls in drapes.  The chiffon at the upper back hooks at the neckline and forms a peek-a-boo gap.  The dress closes at the back with a fine tooth metal zipper.

Sizing: No size is indicated, but according to my measurements, this should fit a extra small or small size - please rely on the following measurements for fit:

Bust:  33” around, taken under the arms

Waist:  24” around

Hips:  46” around, meant to fall loosely

Overall length:  39", measured flat from the top of the spaghetti straps to the hemline

Condition:  It is in very good, clean condition with no wear, tear, holes, stains or odors.  This dress has been very well cared for and stored over the years.  

This is a gorgeous dress - sophisticated look, sure to be noticed!

Great Fit, Great Feel — A New Go-To for Workouts
Special Size: with Contrast Trim, Size: Medium, Color: Navy/White
Really impressed with this workout tank! The fit was spot-on — snug enough to stay in place during movement but not too tight. It didn’t ride up during my workout, which is always a win. The material is soft, breathable, and wicked away sweat really well during both strength training and cardio. It honestly reminds me of the higher-end athletic tanks I’ve tried — same feel, but at a much better price point. Definitely one of those pieces you’ll want in multiple colors! Pros: ✔️ Comfortable, moisture-wicking fabric ✔️ Stays put during workouts ✔️ Flattering and functional ✔️ Great quality for the price

Loose under arms, flattens you out
Special Size: with Contrast Trim, Size: Medium, Color: Black/White
I saw an influencer recommend this workout top, but was disappointed in the look and fit. It was saggy under the arms and flattened by bust in an unflattering way. This was returned.

Definitely an essential jacket for athletic-wear & flattering
Special Size Type: Full Zip, Size: XX-Large, Color: Black
Great quality for a great price! I was looking for a versatile athletic jacket to run in that fits over light tops & found this on Amazon. There were only a few left so I grabbed it right away, so glad I did! It's warm enough for early fall, I live in NC so I will probably use it throughout the winter too bc it's warm here. I feel like the arm length is a bit long & the sleeves a little bit tight under LS Tops but are meant to be. This is a form-fitting jacket, it does run small. I usually have to size down from an XXL to an XL in Amazon Essentials clothing bc they run big but this jacket fits me in my regular size XXL. I tried to find this type of jacket at a few different places & already out of stock in October! If it's available, buy it! You'll love it! I hope more colors are available in the future!
