No newer than 1955, no older than 1963, BUT it has a nylon zipper which obviously replaced the metal one. Hem looks like it's the original hem, but this may have been altered too. Wow, if you can fit into this, lucky sassy you! The model did not! Many tricks were played because this looks amazing on a body. It was too small for size 8 mannequin too. So that sultry low back is shown on hanger. Love the cut on the scoop neckline! Very MCM. Fabric is soft, a knit. It has black with blue metallic, but at certain angles it looks iridescent, like a weird illusion. Coming off a bit like lame but this is very soft. No maker labels. No flaws, either.
ON SALE? It could be. Private sales are done here from time to time so look for a dark pink sale banner with a discount code (percentage off) on any of my shop pages. Individual items do not show sale prices during private (non-site-wide) sales.
