Description
Trimmed at the wrists and hem with wonderful loops of floral wool embroidery, this c. early 70’s full-length dress shows your quirky side as well as your sophisticated elegance. Made of medium-weight black wool knit fabric, the dress is also trimmed with a black velveteen button placket and mandarin collar. The matching belt is black wool with silver rings, tying with double tassels at each end. The cut of this dress is long and lean, closing with a back zipper. Check out the close-up picture of the embroidery to see how unusual and lovely it is! It measures 4 inches on each sleeve and 15 inches of colorful detailing at the hem! The dress is lined (except the sleeves) in black taffeta, and is in very good condition, with one small moth munch on the back right side (see pic).
