1930's or 40's black dress

A second black dress. Understated and simple but with some wonderfull details on the bodice, sleeves and the (double)box pleating in the skirt. Made from flowy somewhat shiny rayon probably from the late 30's/40's.
Suitable for almost every weather (exept extreme cold or warm) and mood. A true 'petite robe noir'. I could not find pictures that closely resemble the design of the dress. The pictures below only share a certain 'look'. This dress form 1940 has got the same feel and silhouet.
The jacket of this suit from 1939 has a similar kind of front bodice as the dress.
