1960s Mottled Green and Turquoise Mod Dress with Coat

This 1960s dress suit ensemble has intricate detailing that really sets it apart - note the beautiful sunray pleating across the bust anchored by a rose formed from coordinating, mottled blue-green manmade chiffon. The high-neckline is typical of shift-dresses of this era and adds an easy elegance to the silhouette. This dress is fully lined in a high quality viscose type fabric, whereas the matching, lightweight jacket has a semi-sheer finish due to the fabric being the same as the chiffon overlay of the dress. The jacket ties nonchalantly at the neck, allowing the wearer to reveal the detail of the dress underneath. A hidden zip secures the rear. Unlabelled but made in France by a dress maker trained in couture techniques or who worked for a couture house; most of the seams and finishing is done by hand.

This vibrant dress is in excellent vintage condition with no flaws of note. Due to its age, it is unlabelled. We have suggested that the best fit would be up to a UK 12, or US 8, but please double-check the measurements below as sizes can vary.
