Gorgeous metallic silver lace babydoll mini dress with statement sleeves. Circa 1960s to early 1970s.

High babydoll style waist, gathered bell statement sleeves and mandarin style collar as pictured.

The collar is unlined scalloped lace.

The bodice is lined with nude color satin (probably acetate). The top of the sleeves to the elbow is lined with the same satin.

The unlined scalloped gathered bell sleeves are very full as pictured.

The scalloped skirt is gathered where sewn to the bodice at the front and back, and features a separate inner skirt of the same satin.

The bodice waist seam and gathered sleeves are embellished with flat metallic silver braid as pictured.

Does up the center back with a long metal zipper.

CONDITION: Excellent. No holes, broken threads, tears, rips, stains, odors, fading, discoloration or other issues. The only thing is a minor storage odor which should come out with a dry cleaning.
