Glowing 1960s Green Print Cotton Dress by Dynasty NEW LISTING Every time I look at this print I think is an aerial view of land - ponds, woods, fields, meadows. It’s just how my mind works. It makes for an eye catching print, regardless. The fabric on this 1960s dress is a soft polished cotton with a really nice hand. The bodice has a round yoke which is echoed by the inset waistband and has gathers for the bust both at the yoke line and waist. The skirt has small sections of gathers rather than darts plus a back vent. The closure is a center back nylon zipper. A lovely, wearable dress for summer and fall .

Order Here Brilliant 1960s Floral Chiffon Evening Dress in Pinks
I am a big fan of this bodice line. Wide set neckline with
tank style with spaghetti straps and a wide , low back. So pretty. I
could mention that television show set in the early 1960s, but you get
the idea. This is a fine dress. The label has been removed along the
way, but the fabrics is fantastic. It’s a soft watercolor style floral
silk chiffon in hot pink, yellow, red and aqua. The skirt is very, very
full and flows over an ivory rayon crepe lining. The bodice is lined in
taffeta. The dress closes with a center back metal zipper. A dress that
combines the bold colors and feminine softness of the early 60s.
Labels: ILGWU
Size: Bust: 36”, Waist: 26”, Hips: Full”, Shoulder to Waist: 16“. Waist to Hem: 41”, Hem circumference: Full, ¾ circle
Condition:
Excellent. There is slight wear to the spaghetti straps and a few dust
marks to the interior skirt lining. The bias area of the hem has hung a
tad unevenly.

Order Here c. 1969 Victor Costa Black Cocktail Dress with Rhinestones
If only I had only been a just bit older in 1969 or 70, I
would have worn this dress the first time around. I would have fallen
in love with the wide inset waist band edged with rhinestone trim. But
alas, I was too young for black and rhinestones then. And too old for
a mini now. So someone else will have to pick up the slack. This is a
quality dress from Victor Costa during his years at Suzy Perette. It’s
a black dress weight silk with gathered skirt, sleeveless bodice gently
eased in at the high waist, midriff band and aforementioned square
rhinestone and plastic trim. Neat dress - add the black opaque
stockings and high platforms from the current runway shows with some
chandelier earrings and it’s a stunner.

1970s Blue and Silver Metallic Knit Jonathan Logan Halter Dress
I do believe I owned the white knit version of the dress in
1974. Really. This one is a navy knit with silver metallic running
through it. Halter dresses in the 70s? Oh we loved them. This on has
under bust seams, a gathered skirt and extremely long ties you can
wrap to your hearts content or leaving hanging long. Lined through out
in blue taffeta, the dress closes center back with a nylon zipper.

Slimming Midnight Blue 1960s Beaded Dress by Patullo-Jo Copeland
This
nice sized dress is one my mother would have loved - slimming in the
body with lots of neckline focus. The yoke is creamy/nude chiffon
backed gauze covered with white beads, sequins and rhinestones. The
next inset panel down is a curved silk twill band that forms the rest
of the cap sleeve. The body of the dress is midnight blue crepe with
princess line seams. The dress is beautifully made befitting as Jo
Copeland design sold at a prestigious Chicago ladies store, with a
silk crepe de chine interlining, hand set hooks and loops at the back
closure and a nylon zipper at the center back.We have had a few of this
designer’s dresses come though our hands, and I do think Copeland’s
work is underrated.

Dramatic 1970s Maurice Print Maxi Dress This is one dramatic print synthetic knit dress from the 1970s, I must say. The print is almost psychedelic! I do love the vibrant yellow, gold orange and pink swirling floral on the black ground. The bodice is fitted with a scoop neckline, long slim sleeves and a nylon zipper back. The skirt is quite long and straight and is a wrap style in the front. Fair warning - this wrap opens to the waist! As to the mysterious Maurice - his design aesthetic was certainly inspired by Pucci, much as were the Mr. Dino, Paganne and Leonard labels. Label: ILGWU , 100% nylon and care label.
