1960s Pink Chiffon Beaded Gown

This is a great example of the hostess dress from the 1960s and the way small designers where taking fabric and using it for maximum effect. The fabric is a swirl of psychedelic pattern in pinks and purples and grounded by deep blues. Parts of the edges of the pattern are highlighted with different colored beads and also rows of pink sequins. It is very subtle but give the dress a touch of glimmer. The main part of the dress is cut with a loose fitting waist with a long skirt that falls to the floor with just the slightest of A-line as it nears the hem. The front plunges and the fabric is gathered and sewn into place by hand. The back is quite amazing with fabric that swoops down cape-like over the shoulders so when you move you get lots of movement and drama! Excellent condition

Bust: 18-18.5" flat across from side seam to side seam
Waist: 15" flat across from side seam to side seam
Hips: 19" flat across from side seam to side seam of the lining
Bodice: 11" from shoulder to waist

Fully lined in a pink silky rayon and closes with a back painted metal zipper. There are hidden snaps that close the chiffon cape down the center part of the back. There are some parts of the beads here and there that maybe missing but nowhere is jarringly apparent.
