About the Item

This Cheongsam-inspired silk wiggle dress is such a beautiful statement. Made in the 1980s by a New York-based label, it features a high mandarin-collar mockneck, and such a svelte shape throughout, created by dropped, padded shoulders, offset by gathering at the waist, to create an hourglass illusion. There is boning on either side of the bodice to help this corset-like effect. I love the knotted swirl detail at the waist. The red pure silk fabric is so soft, with a subtle tonal pattern. The back has a bit of a keyhole, closing with a zipper at the gathered waist, buttons at the mockneck, and a hidden hook in between with the option of closing it more or wearing open for a keyhole effect. There is a slit in the back of the skirt for ease of movement. 100% silk The Vintage Jacky de G Signed Starburst Earrings pictured are also available. Measurements: Will best fit a size X-Small and Small; please refer to below measurements. Shoulders: 20" between shoulder seams (shoulders are dropped) Chest: up to about 34" Waist: 25" laid flat, up to about 26.5" pulled very taut (there is boning on either side of the waist to hold in the body) Hips: 40" laid flat (fabric has some give beyond that) Sleeves: 19.5" from dropped shoulder seam to cuff Length: 40.75" Great vintage condition.

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.
