60s Mod Gold Metallic Dress Vintage Op Art Modest Small Mason Edwards VFG
This is a great little dress, vintage 1960s, perfect for cocktails or clubbing, a mix of edgy and feminine, a little bit Mod, a little bit Op Art, a little bit blingy, and totally comfortable and easy to wear. The silhouette is shift style, with diagonal bust darts and cute cap sleeves. The tall standup collar is blend of choker and choirboy, accented by the little row of functional buttons and loops at the base of the throat. The dress has a bit more of a golden gleam and sparkle than the photos suggest.

FABRIC/COLORS: Love this fabric! It's a jersey knit, in a print that combines geometric with a bit of op art with curving bands and intersecting straight and swirling lines, all in earth tones of goldenrod, two shades of brown - milk and dark chocolate, and cream. And best of all, sparkly glittery gold lurex, but none on the soft inner surface.

CLOSURES: The dress has a long nylon zipper down the back. The fabric covered buttons and loops at the bottom of the throat are also functional.
CONDITION: A few very minor pics to the fabric, too subtle to pick up in a photo. No stains, holes, tears or other issues.
I measure the outside of garments, unless stated otherwise.
For menswear, the chest is measured at armpit level.
For womenswear, the bust is measured a little below armpit level, including the room created by darts or gathers.
Waist will be measured if there is one, and hips are measured about 9" below waist level. Sleeves are measured from shoulder seam or an approximation in the absence of a shoulder seam. Garment length is measured from the back of the neck, unless otherwise stated.
The measurement numbers refer to the garment, not the body inside. For best fit, measure a similar type of garment which fits you well and compare.
If the garment is shown on Josephine, my mannequin, her measurements are 31/24.5/34". Sometimes she wears a padded bra. My live models measurements vary depending on the day and year, and I don't ask them to share that.
