Approximately Size Small Measurements: Bust: 34 inches Waist: 24 to 25 inches Hips: 37 inches Length (top back shoulder to hem): 54.5 inches An elegant and beautifully constructed vintage early 1970s George Halley metallic paisley gown / maxi dress, embodying the refined, romantic aesthetic of boutique American designer fashion from the era. This piece features a tailored bodice with a high neckline and decorative mock button front, offering a structured, polished look while maintaining comfort. The true closure is a hidden zipper up the back with hook-and-eye, allowing for a clean, uninterrupted front silhouette. The fabric is a softly luminous, semi-sheer textile with a delicate metallic-infused paisley motif in earthy tones of sage, gold, champagne, and warm neutrals. The bodice is fitted through the waist, while the skirt falls into a gently gathered, flowing silhouette that moves effortlessly. The sheer sleeves add an ethereal quality, giving the dress depth, lightness, and movement. In great condition. The interior label reads Claudia by George Halley, a boutique line known for producing feminine, well-crafted garments with elevated detailing during the 1970s. ⸻ Designer Background George Halley was known for creating refined, feminine designs often sold through upscale boutiques.
