ANOTHER “NEW” FIND! TRUE VINTAGE 1960’S – 1970’S LBD DATE NIGHT DRESS
For cocktails, dinner and dancing, gallery openings, parties . . . . . any time you’re feeling in a slightly dressy mood . . . . . . . this frock will suit very well. It’s quietly sophisticated but, also, eye-catching. . . . . . . . . .
demure and suggestive at the same time. Isn’t fashion fun?! Always LOVE the sheer sleeves and nipped waist.
It’s not obvious in the photo (darn it, black clothing!) but the bottom foot or so of the skirt is crystal-pleated in a criss-cross way that is very pretty and adds a lovely highlight to the simplicity of the style. Synthetic knit with a smooth hand drapes beautifully.
A small, elegant necklace, pretty belt, impeccable shoes and small bag will complete the look perfectly. This is not a stand-out dress in terms of its quality or pedigree, but it’s lovely on its own and has that certain true vintage cache’ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

NEW FIND! TRUE VINTAGE BLACK SATIN EMPIRE – STYLE GOWN FROM THE SIXTIES
NEW FIND! TRUE VINTAGE BLACK SATIN EMPIRE – STYLE GOWN FROM THE SIXTIES
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!
