This time it’s a formal gown – more like a mother-of-the-bride frock than for Prom, but who knows. Some girls used to like the more conservative styles.
It has the hallmark Sixties neckline, metal zipper and custom-tailored details of a home-sewn garment. The sheer butterfly sleeves that create an attached cape over the shoulders of the sleeveless gown are very pretty. See the back view, where the tail ends tie at the waist.
The skirt is in two layers, with the sheer on top and adds to the float-factor when you walk. Love the color, too. Aqua is always a favorite of mine.
So, more and more fun! I’ve got a couple more recent discoveries from the same era that I’ll show in the next few days and who knows what else is just around the corner . . . . . . . . ..
