From sometime in the Sixties, this formal gown was custom – made in a very heavy but fluid satin material that drapes beautifully. So simple and elegant, it cascades to the floor with only a bit of shoulder detail and a lot of style.
At the shoulders, straps fasten in front with a large button and loop. Otherwise, the dress closes in the back with a metal zipper. The waistline dips to the natural waist in back but sweeps up to an empire style just under the bust – line in front.
A bit big for me, but Madge carries it well and it will be very easy to alter. What better way to add a gorgeous and well – made wardrobe staple to my closet!

Very much of the first micro-mini period in the late ’60’s and early ’70’s, this little nightgown style was very common. Cool and easy for hot weather – and we’re already starting to get some!
Made of substantial vintage nylon, it has no tag. Possibly it was custom-sewn. I find more custom-made lingerie from this time and after than from years before.
Also, the styles get less fussy during this period – excepting for the flower-child fashions with lots of ruffles and lace, it was a sportier time.
So, say an early “hello” to Summer!
