1960s
Absolutely magical vintage gown! Rainbow hand beading / sequins all around the bustier / bust portion. Black contrasting skirt with subtle side ruching / pleating and a side slit. Hidden side zip. Sweetheart neckline. In excellent gently used vintage condition- especially for its age. There are some average signs of wear- like missing sequins or beads here or there- but theres so many that its really not noticeable on unless youre really looking for missing beads up close. A small tear on the inside lining too- obviously not noticable on either, nor does it alter the functionality of the piece, but see zoomed in pic for full disclosure. Teeny tiny spot or two, see last zoomed in picture. Like microscopic. No big noticable stains or other flaws I can see to note though! Tag size 10, but like most vintage, this runs smaller in modern sizing. This piece is certainly not a 10, but its not wildly far off. I believe it would fit a modern day S/M (4-8) best, depending on your measurements. Please see exact measurements below to be sure. For reference, my mannequin is a 4, but the bust was a bit too big to stay up. While the majority of the dress is lightweight, the beaded bust was too heavy to clip (thus why Im holding it up). This could easily fit someone who was a 4 with a bigger bust, but is likely more suited towards 6/8 in my opinion.
