{"product_id":"1960s-macys-iridescent-sequin-cream-knitted-shift-dress","title":"1960s Macy's Iridescent Sequin Cream Knitted Shift Dress","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis extraordinary party dress was made in the early 1960s expressly for the celebrated Manhattan department store Macy’s. Its original label reads “Made expressly for Macy’s in British Hong Kong”, an important centre for highly accomplished beaded and embellished eveningwear during the period, much of it produced for the American market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTailored from cream wool, the dress is cut to a classic 1960s shift silhouette with a rounded neckline and a lightly fitted shape. Almost the entire surface is generously embellished with large, feather-light circular paillette sequins, each suspended from the knit by three tiny translucent beads. Rather than lying flat against the fabric, the discs move freely, creating a wonderful shimmering, almost disco-ball effect and the most pleasing gentle sound as the wearer moves. The simplicity of the silhouette provides the perfect canvas for this eye-catching embellishment. The dress is fully lined in cream rayon satin and fastens at the back with a concealed zip and hook-and-eye. This would also make a superb party dress for a bride looking for something standout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn excellent vintage condition, particularly for a piece of this age. Remarkably, the embellishment remains superb, with no losses or damage to the beads or iridescent foil discs. There are some light marks to the internal lining, but these are completely unseen when worn. The dress is 100% wool with a 100% rayon lining and is labelled a vintage size 10. It is best suited to approximately a UK 8–10 or US 4–6, as well as smaller sizes depending on the desired fit, as it is relatively slim through the hips. The fabric has no stretch. Please refer to the sizing information below to ensure the best fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMEASUREMENTS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBUST - 38 in.
