1960s White Floral Embroidered Brocade Column Dress

This 1960s column dress is deceptively simple and the epitome of elegance for formal or bridal wear. It is crafted from white brocade silk with a subtle sheen and detailed from head-to-toe with intricate embroidery of roses. The floral composition shimmers with silver accents and peekaboo, cut-out petals, framed in silver and ivory thread. Panelled construction at the bust creates a corset-like fit. The faux wrap-around waistband curves down into the bottom hem, softening the silhouette. At the neck, a high-V shape is formed where the fabric from the shoulders crosses at the front. The rear has a slight V-back and a hidden centre zip fastening. Fully lined with a soft viscose acetate blended fabric.

The dress may have been bespoke made as it is unlabelled; the workmanship is excellent with fine fabrics used and many hand finished details. In excellent vintage condition, freshly cleaned with no flaws of any note. A suggested best fit for up to a UK size 8-10 or US 4-6.
