A standard mod-look vintage plus-size day dress from the early-mid Sixties, but, this one is rare to find today because the fabric is Arnel Triacetate – not many of them around now! It got pushed out of the marketplace by good old polyester, which had some easier-care qualities.
However, triacetate feels really good and not exactly like any of the many polyester incarnations that are possible. That’s the beauty of true vintage fabrics – the qualities of most have not/cannot be duplicated by more modern materials. There’s just nothing like them . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
