TRUE VINTAGE MID-1960’S SILK SHANTUNG SHEATH – CLASSIC LITTLE BLACK DRESS
Basic, basic, basic – but nothing is more elegant. Needless to say, I was thrilled to discover it!
Bateau neckline with an easy shape and kick pleat. Long metal zipper in back. It can be accessorized in so many ways and will look unique on women with slightly different body shapes. And, the fabric . . . . . . . .
This silk shantung sheath was tailored for tall juniors and Stella barely qualifies at 5’7”, so the fit would be transformed on a taller girl with correct measurements for a true vintage 12/13 size.
Styles like this endure with ease over many decades and become increasingly difficult to find in the same quality as the years go on. Sometimes a little change in the hemline is called for, but otherwise it’ll stand on its own forever, with delicate care.

Gorgeous rayon belted shirtwaist-style with peplum detail and rhinestone buttons. Perhaps suitable for a Society event and, certainly, for an elegant dinner.
What’s not to love? The tailoring is lovely and the fit is flattering. Of course, it’s just right for Stella, with her wasp waist. This is another Post-war design, reflecting the elegance that women were able to enjoy again when WWII was over. There will be more to come, then –
a variety of mid-century finds that have just appeared . . . . . . . .
