No newer than 1963. Early 60s formal gown is silver Matelasse (technically, not Brocade) with white background, for anyone who wants to shimmer on that formal occasion. (A most unusual option for an edgy bride) The high wide cummerbund is trimmed with silver and has a big silver knot & loop button trimmed with rhinestones and pearls and hooks closed IN BACK. Back metal zipper. ILGWU label only. Fully lined in white taffeta. Front slit and fuller skirt for easy walking. Sparkly mother-of-the-bride......or groom? Looks stunning on body, for the most special occasion. CONDITION? Possibly some discoloration in the lining only. Outside is flawless.
