1960s Pastel Silk Chiffon Shift Dress

About the Item

This original vintage French couture dress is made from a very high quality mint green silk chiffon, with an abstract swirl print in pale blue, pink, lime and peach shades. Cut in a classic 60s shift shape, it was almost certainly made by someone trained in haute couture construction and sewing techniques. The collar, front seam and the hem all have a beautiful ruffle trim, made of delicate pleated chiffon. The dress falls to just below the knee, and it is lined with a lovely pale shade of blue silk chiffon. It is worth noting that the inside seams have a very generous seam allowance. Fastens to the rear with the original blue metal zip. The dress is in excellent vintage condition - on very close inspection we noticed a very small hole on the inside lining near the shoulder, though this of course cannot be seen when worn. It would best fit a 10-12 UK, or 6-8 US. MEASUREMENTS: BUST: 34 in. ( 86.36 cm ) WAIST: 31 in. ( 78.74 cm ) HIP: 37 in. ( 93.98 cm ) LENGTH: 41 in. ( 104.14 cm )
