Bonnie Cashin for Sills Dress Long Fringe Tunic Chamois Leather Vintage 60s Rare
About the Item
Fabulous Bonnie Cashin for Sills chamois leather tunic dress with fringe, likely made in the early 60s. A unicorn!
A similar design can be seen in Bonnie Cashin's fashion sketch called "My War Dance Is For Peace" (we suspect this is the same dress, but it appears that a previous owner cut the bottom fringe off and hemmed the bottom).
Perfect for festival season, or for a collector or restorationist, this is an incredibly rare piece of fashion history designed by the innovative Bonnie Cashin.
Made from light tan chamois leather, it fastens with a matching leather cord at the chest, and is lined. No size tag, fits like modern S: shoulders - 15in, bust - 34in, waist - 34in, hips - 38in, shoulder to hem - 32in, fringe length sleeves - 27in.
Preowned/vintage (55+ years old) with DEFINITE signs of use and prior wear: spots and some color variation to exterior (see images 9-12 for examples); interior lining has been cut on one side (see image 9), another side of the lining hem has popped stitches and needs repair. Some fringe is missing from the sleeves and some has been re-attached (see last two pics for examples). Some verdigris staining from the brass eyelets can be seen on the leather. Still an incredible and rare piece despite its flaws!
