About the Item
This very special vintage 1960s Donald Brooks dress is an iconic example midcentury fashion. Crafted of black wool, it features baguette-cut gems, which form a trompe l'oeil effect, almost like a harness or vest layered over the dress. The babydoll silhouette is so 1960s— it's fitted through the chest and sleeves, with a slight empire waist, and a built-in petticoat to create volume through the dress's skirt, which is gathered at the waist. The mini length beautifully offsets the fullness. It features a high mock neck, with buttons down the back.
Donald Brooks founded is eponymous label in 1963, and quickly grew his clientele to include the likes of Jacqueline Kennedy. Aside from designing his ready-to-wear label, he was also an Oscar-winning costume designer.

1960s Embellished Wiggle Dress
Located in New York, NY
VERY BREEZY presents: This is the dream vintage wiggle dress! The shape is so perfectly 1960s, from the way its fitted through the hips to the bateau neckline— so flattering and the perfect amount of sexy! This piece was sourced in Italy, although it was made in the US. It's embroidered all over with sequins in a squiggling formation. The paillettes are of such a great quality (nothing like the cheap sequins that are so commonplace in modern garments). A small slit in the back back makes it easy to move. The Vintage Diamanté Necklace...
