Description
This elegant LBD is a vintage classic from the 1960s in an easy-to-wear shift style, accented with sparkling rhinestone ball buttons! A narrow yoke at the front and back shoulders surrounds the scoop neckline, with 4 rhinestone buttons and loops at the center front. Tiny gathers below the shoulder yoke add a hint of fullness at the bust area. Otherwise, the dress silhouette is a nearly straight, tube-like shape, reminiscent of the 1920s styles that were influential in fashion at the time. The sleeves are semi-full, gathered into fitted cuffs at the wrist adorned with more rhinestone buttons. (1 button on each cuff is missing, which should not be too noticeable when the dress is worn—see close-up sleeve cuff photo.) 4 more fun rhinestone ball buttons and loops trim the center front hem, which hits at about knee length. The mid-weight rayon crepe, satin-backed fabric is lined with black acetate taffeta in the body of the dress, but the sleeves are unlined. It fastens with a nylon zipper in back. A swinging 60s style from the middle of the decade, this black 1960s cocktail dress is in very good condition, its only issue the 2 missing sleeve buttons.
