1960s Black Crepe Wrap Over Lace Ruffle Hem Dress

About the Item

This is a fabulous 1960s crepe and lace ruffle evening dress that reminds us so much of Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffanys! The shift design just has such timeless appeal and this one is so well made. The fabric is a good quality wool blend crepe that falls very nicely. Of particular note is the striking lace ruffle around the V neck that crosses over at the front giving the dress a wrap around appearance. This detail then falls down to the hemline and away to the right hand side seam. The waistline of the dress is broken up with a little crepe bow. The lace is at least double layered and stands quite proud away from the dress. It fastens to the rear with the original metal zip. The manufacturer's label is no longer attached; however, this is a British made garment with the only remaining label urging you to dry clean the dress :-) What a pity we'll never know who made it! It will best fit up to a UK size 12, US 8 and is shown here on a model who is size UK 8-10 so can accommodate smaller sizes too. MEASUREMENTS: BUST - 40 in. (101.6 cm) WAIST - 33 in.

Nina Ricci Couture Black Floral Devoré Silk Kimono Sleeve Caftan Dress
By Nina Ricci
Located in Boca Raton, FL
This Nina Ricci kimono is an effortless way to layer on luxury. The diaphanous beauty is designed from light-as-air black silk featuring a devoré print of gorgeous swirling flowers, vines and leaves. Many of the flowers are dressed up with black metallic accents at their centers, but those glimmering touches aren’t what truly creates the drama in this couture piece. The stunning flowing sleeves do. They rest at the wrists and then cascade down, creating a sinuous arc with the ankle-length hem. Wear the topper open at the front or fasten it at the jewel neckline, which is finished with pretty gathers that help to elegantly frame the face. Size estimate: One size fits most Measurements: Bust: Up to 40 inches Waist: Up to 40 inches Hips: Up to 45 inches Length: 56 inches Sleeve length: 20 inches Sleeve width: 30 inches This Nina Ricci couture...
