Description
This 1960s gold metallic and gold-colored brocade cocktail dress has the shorter length and the "Nehru"-style collar popular in the latter half of the decade. The strips of fabric that form the collar extend down to the middle of the bust and end in a center point. The bodice is fitted through the shoulders and the three-quarter-length sleeves are narrow and straight with darts at the elbows. Princess seams curve over the bust and continue all the way down to the hem, giving the waist and hips a gently fitted silhouette, with the skirt flaring outwards a bit from the hips to the hem. The dress has slit pockets along the princess seams at the hips. It closes in back with a metal zipper and is lined with gold muslin-type fabric. This glittering gold cocktail dress is in excellent condition with no flaws to note.
