Vintage 50s Black Circle store Skirt Dress with Cutout Details, Size S/M

This is a gorgeous and unique black cotton dress from the 1950s with an unusual lattice pattern. The waist is fitted and the dress is lined completely except at the very top where you can get a peek of upper chest, shoulders, and back under the latticework. The dress has a crew neckline and is sleeveless and the hem goes to just below the knees on a 5'7" model.

This is a delicate piece and a couple of the lattices in the back are ripped which I've noted in the pictures. These should be easy to fix but I have not attempted to do so myself - that's best left to the professionals!
