1960s Black Crepe and Georgette Column Dress
About the Item
This mid 1960s black column dress is chic, sophisticated and perfect for any formal occasion. It has a georgette fabric neckline which is slightly transparent, rounded to both the front and back. The bodice is made from a soft black crepe and is gathered round the bust for a flattering fit, with vertical keyhole detail to the centre. The dress fastens down the back with the original zip and hook and eye closure. The crepe skirt flows down from the high point of the waist in a classic empire cut - a very typical silhouette for the era. It has two neat front pleats and has a small slit up the left hand side seam, reaching to around knee height. This piece would look fabulous for a black tie cocktail event, accessorised with vintage jewellery and an elegant pair of heels.
The dress is in very good vintage condition overall with just a small abrasion near the the under bust side seam. It does appear that the neckline was lined in a cream georgette but this has been removed; however, we rather like the sheerness of the neckline as it is now. The designer's name is no longer in the dress but it is an American made piece for a high-end department store with the ILGWU label used between 1964 and 1973. We feel it would best fit up to a size 8 UK, or 4 US.

- 1950s Ceil Chapman Black Silk Taffeta Full Circle DressBy Ceil ChapmanLocated in London, GBThis is a brilliant example of Ceil Chapman's early work from the late 1940s to early 1950s and the black taffeta silk design is exquisite. Its the first thing you notice about this dress which has the most unusual construction. The skirt's textured element from a distance looks like a floral design but its actually a large number of circular pleated stitched designs. The way the fabric is pulled and stitched creates an almost 3D effect. We have never seen this work before but it would have taken a very skilled seamstress and an incredible amount of time to do it. The dress style is a classic shirtwaister design with three taffeta covered buttons to fasten the bodice which is beautifully shaped and Princess seamed. The sleeves are three quarter length and feature a folded cuff...Category
