1960s SILK SHANTUNG DRESS WITH REAL MINK CUFFS - PRINCESS SEAMS SHEATH - VERY SOPHISTICATED

Exquisite rare vintage 1960s chic dress in a luxurious mink brown shade crafted in what appears to be silk shantung & the most striking detail genuine mink fur cuffs that add true luxury.   The fabric color shade is called "Mink" which is a chic warm brown tone reminiscent of mink fur.

The jewel neckline provides timeless sophistication and the 3/4 sleeves ending in genuine mink fur cuffs add an opulent touch of luxury.  A 22" Talon zipper at the back ensures easy wear and authentic vintage construction. (Photo)

The sophisticated dress embodies the refined elegance and impeccable tailoring that defined 1960s high fashion. The flattering curved princess seams in front create a figure-enhancing silhouette and below the hip line these seams connect to create a beautiful center overlay panel that extends down the front — a distinctive design element that adds visual interest and elongates the figure. These curved princess seams makes everyone's figure look great.  Fully lined in silky brown nylon for a beautiful drape and comfortable wear. (Fur cuffs can be taken off for cleaning and then have the cleaners attach them again with running stitches as it is done now.)   

Versatile enough for cocktail parties, holiday celebrations, formal dinners or any occasion requiring sophisticated elegance.  A timeless treasure that captures the sophistication and luxury of 1960s fashion at its finest!

Approximate Measurements – This means the measurements of the item listed – not of your own figure.  You must be a few inches smaller than the measurements shown.
By:  No tag
Size:  The tag says Size 12 but that is vintage sizing which  has changed over the decades.  Go by the measurements and not the size tag.  
Bust: 38 unstretched 
Sleeve from neck:  23
Shoulder to shoulder in back: 15-1/2
Waist:  34 
Hips:  35 -36 stretched -  this is the measurement of the fabric - NOT one's hips.  You need to be several inches smaller than this measurement or it will not hang propertly.
Length: 38 - 39
Fabric No tag but appears to be silk shantung (characteristic slub texture and linear weave) or similar textured fabric, genuine mink fur cuffs, brown silky nylon lining
Care: No tag
Condition: Very good vintage. One small spot (1" x 3/8") on front upper shoulder at an angle close to where the dress connects to the sleeve and a bit of soiling on the top of the shoulder which no one would probably see both likely removable with professional cleaning. (Photos) Blends in pretty well because the dress is dark.   All other aspects excellent—mink cuffs pristine, fabric beautiful, no other flaws noted.

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.

The seller is not responsible for these delays nor for the custom charges as that is the international customer's obligation when purchasing an item outside your country.

Since we are a small business we do not credit your return back to a credit card. We only allow an exchange for another item or a store credit which is good for one month after which time, it is canceled if not used.  We do not accept returns or cancellations.  Shipping fees are not refundable.
