This incredible early 60s Marjorie Montgomery silk shift dress is impeccably made and gorgeous to boot! The squiggles are a deep chocolate brown and black with black piping on the scoop neckline and sleeves. The sleeves and dressare all one piece with an underarm gusset made for mmaximum movement. The dress is fully lined in a lightweight white silk and has a metal center back zipper. Their is a 5 3/4" hem so it can let down for length, as well as a 1" seam allowance so the dress can be let out if needed. There is a small bleed in the print on the back close to the hem (see photos) but hardly noticible when wearing. This dress is a true piece of art and a great staple for any wardrobe!

CONDITION: Great! One small color bleed on the back near the hem (see photos). Hardly noticible when wearing.
