This slinky vintage 60s dress is a delish shade of chocolate brown, lightly striped with black to create a fine horizontal ribbed texture.
The slim cut uses a fitted panel around the middle to give a shelf style lift to the bust. Pleats from the center help the fabric curve to your form. The dolman cut gives a light cap to the sleeves. A large decorative button and bow accent the chest below the shallow scoop neckline.
The skirt has a perfect wiggle fit, with darts around the tummy and hips, and a straight cut below that to the hem.
