HERE’S A SEXY LITTLE TRUE VINTAGE NUMBER FOR SPRING AND SUMMER FROM THE EARLY 1960’S
I absolutely love the flattering drape of this fitted dress! The fabric is a synthetic blend of some type, probably containing nylon.
During the late ’50’s and early ’60’s the lean sheath styles were very alluring, yet proper. That seems, to me, to be one of the best fashion qualities of lots of the true vintage styles.
This one goes from Spring, with a light jacket or sweater, right into Summer. The combination of green and blue was very popular in the early 1960’s for a year or two – so this one may come from that time.
