VINTAGE 1960S SHIFTS INTERNATIONALE MIAMI MOD SHIFT DRESS - LACE TRIM- PINK KEY MOTIFF
$ 249.00
A stunning original from Shifts Internationale of Miami, this 1960s polished‑cotton dress features one of the most striking color palettes of the era: deep pink, ivy green, orange, and white arranged in a bold large keys motif. The neckline is beautifully shaped and unusually elegant, unlike anything commonly seen from the period. A 2‑1/2 inch open white braid trim hangs gracefully from the neckline and repeats along the hemline, giving the dress a refined, high‑end resort look. Inside the hem is an additional lace‑trimmed finish, a detail found only on better‑made garments of the time.
A 21‑1/2" metal zipper closes the back, and the princess seaming on both the front and back creates a long, slimming line when worn. The dress is fully lined and appears unworn, preserved in exceptional condition. The interior label reads size 14, but this reflects 1960s sizing; as with all vintage clothing, modern buyers should rely on the provided measurements for best fit.
A rare and beautifully preserved Shifts Internationale dress with unforgettable color, structure, and mid‑century resort elegance.
Perfect for a cruise, pool party, entertaining or shopping this summer.

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.
