Mint Green Silk Jersey Maxi Hostess Dress w Heavy Beading, Hong Kong – M, 1969
About the Item
The kind of dress we imagine looking smashing on the too-tan, coral-lipstick-wearing, pickled-as-a-cocktail-onion party hostess in her house in Palm Beach. “Mind your cigarette ash, darling, but if the Grasshopper spills no problem.”

Hand-finished rear metal zipper closure with two hooks and loops, plus two covered snaps; metal zippers at cuffs. Skirt lined in silk crepe; interior hanging loops.
