Having an affair with chocolate...
A vintage 60s fun and flirty cocktail dress with a feminine and flattering fit. Rich chocolate brown organdy dress with detail cream lace at cuffs and waist. Semi-fitted bodice with stand up collar, and long set-in sheer sleeves that delicately gather at cuffs. A full gathered skirt is attached to bodice at waistline. Just love the permanent pressed lines of skirt radiating from waistline. Rear metal hook and eye closure above metal zip with metal snaps at cuffs. Upper edge of collar has some reinforcement, perhaps boning. Dress is lined with the exception of the sleeves. Garment has been steam cleaned and is ready to wear.
CONDITION---Good vintage condition
--------------------Back of dress has a small hole approx. 1/16 x 1/32 of an inch and two pin size holes. Also, noticed the first hole and one pin size hole has an adjacent pulled thread, which I hand pressed. Pulled thread is a little noticeable, but not terrible.
--------------------Lining is discolored, but hidden under dress fabric
--------------------The lace on cuffs is discolored, and a little darker than the cream lace on waistband. The left cuff has four stain spots, near the outer wrist bone area. The stained spots are a darker tea color, as seen in photo #5. I will retake photo #5 for it doesn't clearly show the stains.
--------------------A small tear in lining by the lower part of zipper on the folded edge
