Byzantine Cream Jeweled Silk Modesty-Dressing Panel Skirt Wedding Gown – M, 1968
About the Item
A wedding gown that takes modest fashion to new heights, this columnar maxi dress chastely covers every inch of skin but oozes stature, grace and regality thanks to Byzantine-era jeweling around the neck and wrists. Added opulence provided by the free-hanging front panel skirt whose edges and center are adorned in matching jewels. Best of all, the gown remains appropriate eveningwear even AFTER the wedding is over. (And it has pockets!)
Cream maxi gown with high mock neck, bust darts and tapered sleeves; 2 ¾” inset cummerbund waistband with gentle gathers above and below. Straight skirt with 11 ¼” side vents and slash fingertip pockets; additional free-hanging front panel from waist to ankle. Panel skirt features bead- and jewel-crusted trim around all edges and down center; matching jeweled detail around throat and wrists. Rear metal zipper closure with two hooks and loops at rear neck, plus another three at rear waist; zippered wrists with single hook and eye at top. Hand-finished; lined in matching cream acetate.

- Reversible Ivory Faux Fur Robe w Leonard Paris-Inspired Jungle Lining - M, 1960sLocated in Tucson, AZ"Wooly Bully" indeed! Words can hardly describe this incredible piece of mid-century fashion: a robe so unique and cozy you'll want to wear it outside the boudoir, thanks to its outrageous Leonard-inspired jungle print lining. And though it probably wasn't meant to be worn inside-out (as the interior has neither pockets nor belt loops) it can easily be reversed so the plush side is in and the jungle print is on display for the world to see.
