Black beaded dress designed by Zelda Wynn and worn by Ella Fitzgerald, late 1940s. Creator: Zelda Wynn.

Ella Jane Fitzgerald (1917-1996) was an African-American jazz singer, sometimes referred to as the First Lady of Song, Queen of Jazz, and Lady Ella. The dress is made from black synthetic crepe fabric that is hand beaded with black glass seed and bugle beads, and black sequins in a floral vine design. The bodice is short-sleeved and has a scoop neck in the front and a V-neck in the back. There is a metal zipper in the center back that goes to the hip, and a hook-and-eye at the top of the zipper. The gown has a princess cut waist, but there is no seam at the waist. The gown has a column skirt with a slit on the proper right side that is 24 1/2" high and contains a rounded hem. At the top of the slit, there is a pre-tied black velvet bow that is sewn to the dress.
