1960's Black Velvet & Satin "Audrey" Maxi Gown. The back is fabulous with its alluring large Satin Bow. The front is classic Audrey and Dior with its elegant simple style, and slightly empire waist. A very chic and desirable vintage look for today! **The gown is black velvet, and the trim is black satin. The front has a higher neck, with the slightly elevated waist. It is defined with a wide satin inset. The dress is lined in black acetate. **I love the look of the back......there is something sexy and alluring about a large bow strategically placed over a woman's rear. This is a fashion statement I have seen used over and over for at least the last 200 years! In addition to the large bow with its long streamers...there is a satin inset which snaps to the side. C O N D I T I O N: Excellent condition. You might have to have a dressmaker play with the back snap area to get it to fit right. S I Z E: Medium. Length: 53", waist approx 29", hips 40", Bust...hard to measure as back is dropped...it is at least 36-38". Bodice to top of cumberbun inset is 12"....inset is 3". PLEASE NOTE: We do not clean most of our vintage clothing, and recommend that you either wash or have them dry cleaned. Any issues we believe will be problematic we mention. Thanks, Maire et al |
