1960s Textured Pink Tweed and Green Lame Dress

This superb 1960s fantasy tweed couture-made dress is at its best up-close. The textured fabric is created from candy-pink tweed woven with green, blue and gold metallic thread - a truly stunning fabric to observe in detail. A classically ‘60s silhouette, it has short-sleeves, a cocooning body and high, collared neckline. There are two hidden but large slip pockets at the front, and the back closes with a turquoise zip and hook-and-eye clasp. The tweed material is lined throughout in high quality natural cotton for comfort.

In excellent vintage condition with no flaws of any note - it looks barely worn and retains a very fresh and vibrant appearance. Unlabelled but a very well made couture piece. In order for the dress to hold its shape, the tweed is quite stiff and does not have any stretch to it. Our model, the horse racing presenter, Francesca Cumani, is a UK size 8-10 or US 4-6 and this had some room to spare size wise.
