Vintage 1960s High End Maxi Coat Dress - GORGEOUS 51 Button Glowing Pearl Silk Hong Kong Gown w Bishop Sleeves Size S - M
♛Details
Late 1960s bishop sleeve maxi gown of silk charmeuse. Not only does this beauty have ALL the buttons, but the color is this ethereal pale smoky pearl frost that just doesn’t turn up much.
There are 51 cloth buttons, by my count, all of them remarkably intact.
The dressmaking quality is top-notch, truly couture level with no detail overlooked. Heavy with a fluid, luxuriant weight and crafted with masterful touches throughout.
Perfect and so regal for all your wintry festivities. Would make a gorgeous alternative wedding look, too!
•Fabric(s): exquisite silk charmeuse, silk lining
•Closures: buttons down front, coat style
•Designer/Labels: Victoria Royal of Hong Kong, who were well-known for their after-five and special event garments -- see article from 1969 about their designer, Bill Haire
