Circa: 1960s
Condition: Excellent
Size: S
Type: Velvet with Satin Trim
Manufacturer: Unknown
I wanted to feature the back of this dress because I think it is so lovely. The scoop neck in the front is a pretty line too, but the back is one of the prettiest I've seen. This party dress--from the late 50s, early 60s is deep teal heavy velvet with heliotrope satin bands.
The "New Look" influence is apparent with its more form fitting bodice and full skirt which would move nicely, one would think, on the dance floor or stage. (Shown here with nylon crinoline, not included). The 3/4 raglan length sleeve is always pretty and covers elbows, giving a more graceful line to the silhouette.
The original metal zipper is in place in the back of the dress and is functional. The dress is lined in heliotrope satin. I don't see any holes or stains. There are no odors. The dress is in very good to excellent condition, with a little wear evident inside the dress. NOTE: This dress is a little large on my model, please pardon the loose fit across the bust area.

Hips: Full
Sleeve length from underarm: 11 1/2"
Underarm to waist: 26"
Waist to hem: 26"

There was a dress styled similarly to this in the Broadway production of BYE BYE BIRDIE! It was lovely and was used in a dance sequence. I would think this dress would likewise move very well, with its full skirt. It would be lovely for a winter party or wedding, or clubbing. This dress begs for fabric covered period style pumps or flats to finish it off.
It has been dry cleaned and is ready to go dancing!
