Mod Tapestry Shift Dress (1960s)
Soft and thick jacquard fabric, similar to tapestry or quilting in texture and weight, and woven with metallic gold threads to reveal big ivory blooms. From afar, the color looks champagne.
A very mod sixties fit: high-cut round neckline, sleeveless fitted top with a drop waist, and a paneled skirt with a single inverted pleat in the front. Quality construction and tailoring: sharp panels, darts, and seams. Bottom hem is finished with custom bias tape and hand stitched blind hem. Fully backed in coordinating ivory cotton; closes with a hidden zipper up the center-back and hook-and-loop.
Perfect for a cool Sunday afternoon party or another dreaded spring wedding (but hey, at least you'll look nice).

Shoulder, across: 15.75”
Chest, across: 18.5”
Waist, across: 16.5”
Hip, across: 19”
Bottom hem, across: 26”
Total length: 37”

NEED TO KNOW: Unbranded, as most clothes were then. The maker was likely a tailor or a skilled seamstress. Vintage Armani blazer and accessories are private collection.
