VINTAGE 1960s JERRY GLIDEN SPECTATOR DEEP TURQUOISE FAILLE DRESS WITH METAL ZIPPER

I love the color of this Jerry Gilden Spectator deep Turquoise nearly full circle faille dress!

My thanks to the Vintage Fashion Guild for the following information:

"Jerry Gilden produced women's dress from 1940s into the 1960s. He started his business in 1945 and 
10 years later, he was one of the top five producers of women's dresses in the United States."

The dress was made in the 1960s and I remember dresses vividly like this as I wore them! This dress is in a heavy faille fabric in a beautiful dark turqoise.  Scoop neck front and back.  Cap sleeves. Princess lines for a slimming look.  Fit and Flare style.  8 large gores in the dress that make it nearly a full circle.  (Photo)  No need for a lining as the dress is out of a very heavy fabric.  Long metal zipper in back with a hook and eye for a security.  Vintage pinked seams.

Just beautiful and can be dressed up or down which is a wonderful asset to a dress! Perfect for so many occasions and can be worn in the spring, summer and Fall.

Care Instructions

We examine each item carefully and note any imperfections, but unless an item is said to be new, please don't expect it to be perfect & even some new items have small imperfections. I will always state in the description if there are any imperfections & I never do repairs but leave them to others who are better able to do them than me as that is not my expertise.

Please remember that unless specified all items have been used and will show varying signs of use or wear. We always list the obvious imperfections to the best of our abilities. However, some slight imperfections that will not show or affect wearing or using the item may slip by or not be considered worth mentioning.

Vintage nightgowns & peignoirs may be delicate so I do not wash them in the machine. I wash them in lukewarm water with Woolite or some other mild soap, then rinse & hang dripping wet in the shower.

Since these are vintage items, a bit of extra care needs to be taken with them so they remain beautiful & I definitely would never put a vintage nightgown or a peignoir in the dryer as it would ruin it.

The items are sold as we find them. We do not dry clean, launder, alter or repair vintage clothing and they should be cleaned or washed upon arrival. Please make your selection carefully & check the measurements as there is no return on clothing or other items.
