Teal Traina French Blue Racer Back Mini Apron Dress and Scarf - XS, 1960s

About the Item

An impeccably-made dress that straddles the 1960s generation gap. On one hand, the contrast piping, attention to detail and matching scarf recall Jackie Kennedy’s immaculate early 60s style, while the large arm holes, daring racer back and patch pockets convey the exuberant youthfulness of the later decade. A perfect balance of chic and playfulness. Sleeveless apron dress with deeply scooped front neckline and racer back; piped in contrasting flat braid around neckline, arm holes, hip patch pockets and hem. Front bodice princess seams, lightly gathered empire waist and full skirt. Left side zipper closure with two hooks and loops above, plus two domed looping buttons and two hidden snaps at left shoulder. Fixed lingerie keepers hidden inside each shoulder; fully lined in blue silk. Matching oblong scarf unlined. fabric: lightweight cotton canvas, silk georgette noteworthy: dry clean only alterations: reattached patch pockets to dress where loose condition: excellent measurements: neckline opening: 4 ½” across neckline plunge: 8” from shoulder shoulders: 9 ½” from outer strap edge to edge bust: 34” max empire waist: 28” natural waist: 26” bodice length: 14 ¾” from shoulder, 5” from underarm hips: free skirt length: 22 ½” length: 37 ¼” from shoulder; 27 ½” from underarm sweep: 55” hem: 2” scarf: 12” wide x 52” long label: Teal Traina (New York) / Belman Fashions at Diamond’s Phoenix size: no size tag present; comparable to modern size extra small

Collarless drop shoulder robe embroidered with tonal chrysanthemums; wide bracelet length sleeves and hip-high slits both sides. 5 frog closures with brass buttons from throat to waist; fully lined in matching whisper weight crêpe de Chine. fabric: padded Canton silk...
