About the Item
This elegant, fantasy tweed dress was couture-made in the 1960s. Fantasy tweed is a multi-colour tweed woven to a highly distinct pattern from clashing fibres of different fabrics. In the case of this stunning gown, the tweed has a background of vibrant gold metallic thread with fluffy angora wool in chalk pink and mint green stitched across its surface. This results in a highly tactile handle to the cloth and a fascinating level of detail up-close. The cut of this dress is unusual; the silhouette is graceful with a wide, body-skimming empire-line cut. The skirt falls to the ankle. There is a very wide-neckline and a cut-out detail atop little cap-sleeves which creates an off-shoulder effect. The shoulders and sleeves are each topped with a pretty, gold grosgrain bow. This dress is fully lined in taupe silk and fastens at the back of the neck with a hidden tonal zip and hook-and-eye clasp.
This piece is in excellent vintage condition with no issues - it looks barely worn. Due to its age and the fact that it is couture-made, there are no labels present in the dress, so please double-check our measurements below carefully. The fabric has no stretch. We estimate a good fit for sizes up to a UK 12-14 or US 8-10.
