1960s Turquoise Floral Silk Organza Maxi Dress with Keyhole Neckline
This 1960s couture maxi dress is crafted from what feels like silk organza with a swirling print of flowers, leaves and vines in blue, green and purple hues. It has an A-line cut and falls to ankle-length, and has pretty, long bell-sleeves which are sheer and tie at the cuff. The wide neckline adds an easy grace and features a keyhole cut-out at the front. The back has an open detail and is tied at the back of the neck whilst the lower part is secured by a lovely row of fabric-covered buttons with fabric loops. This dress is fully lined in a blue silk feel fabric, with a blue tonal hidden zip.
This dress is in excellent vintage condition with no flaws of any note. Incredibly well-crafted with many hand-finished couture details; the dress has lost any labels it may have had with the passage of time. Please double-check our measurements below. Our model (5ft 4in / 180cm) is a UK 6-8 or US 2-4 and this dress was a little roomy on her. The fabric has no stretch. We estimate a good fit for sizes up to a UK 10 or US 6.

F.A.Q.
Will you set anything aside for me before I come?
We are happy to find anything you may be interested in from our website. We have an extensive offline collection. It is helpful if you can let us know your size, style, favourite colour to wear and perhaps your budget in advance of your appointment.
Do I need to bring anything with me?
Clients may wish to bring modern shapewear. You may also wish to bring favourite footwear. We often find a classic pair of nude shoes work well when trying-on, or gold and silver. We have a huge variety of slip dresses and petticoats to complete your look. Many of which are also for sale.

Many of our lower priced pieces, under £250, are not available to buy online. Dresses usually start at £150 and go up to £30,000 for the very best archival couture. Our bridalwear price points range from £1,000 to £20,000.
