1960s Real Metal Thread Shift Dress Set
This dress is a great example of that tubular, shift shaped 1960s silhouette and it is a little unusual because of the fabric. It still has its original paper tags attached inside that state that 30% of the fabric is real metal! The silver colored metal thread used and woven through it really goes it a beautiful glinting sheen and depth to the design. The colors are fabulous palette of creams, taupes and greys mixed with that silver thread. A classic shift dress sits under a zipped on outer shell. Even though we know it has metal running through it it surprisingly light and the fabric supple but with just a hint of structure to help hold that wonderful shape! Excellent condition
