1960s neutral silk dress for the office or a dressy daytime event, so elegant in beautiful fabrics. This short sleeve sheath has the appearance of two pieces, with a tailored tunic over a straight skirt. It has a square neckline with asymmetric tied bow, and a fringed effect to bow's tails and skirt hem. This 60s dress is unworn deadstock with the original World's Fair hangtag from 1964-1965. The vintage price was $35.95... this would be over $330 in today's dollars!
