A classic vintage look with a simple sheath-like silhouette. This dress comes in a lovely navy blue lace, making it ideal for a multitude of festivities and nights out this Fall and Winter season!! The bodice features a lovely v neckline detailing. The piece zips up the back with a talon zipper, dating it to likely the late 60s. Fabric shell is a type of lace, with a different fabric for the interior lining. There is no label. Dress would likely best fit a modern Small, but please see measurements. For reference model is modern size 4/6.

Approximate measurements :
Bust : 35 inches, 36 pulled taught
Waist: 26 inches
Hips: 35 inches, 37 pulled taught
Total Length: 38 inches (from back of neck, down)
Sleeve Length: about 3 inches (there is no shoulder seem to measure from)
Good Vintage Condition - Some overall wear to the piece with some color fade present. The most obvious color fade to me is to the underlining of the lace, it has a slightly purple hughe to it and in some lighting its more apparent in certain areas over others - I personally don’t think this is as obvious in person as the up close images show, but it is there. There are a few marks and areas of discoloration to the piece that did not come out with cleaning. The most obvious to me was at the underarms - which is still faint enough it was somewhat difficult to photograph. Then there are a few areas where the lace has a white tint to it in places, as though its devoid of color from when it was made. A few pulls to the lace and loose threads here and there as well as some wear to the inner seam allotments, but none of this seems to impact wearability. Possible mend to the lace on the bodice (see last photo), but its so hard to tell for sure as its so small. Lace is old and delicate, so just use caution when storing and wearing.
All measurements are approximate as they are taken flat - for garments specifically this means where applicable (bust, waist, hips) has been doubled unless stated otherwise. If you are uncertain about fit and/or need more measurements please ask! If it is provided in the listing, models and/or dress form sizes are used as a point of reference only. Please remember that all bodies are different so always defer to the measurements I provide and check them against your own, preferably on a similar style garment.
