Vintage 1960s Maxi Dress - Eye-popping DONALD BROOKS Satin Embroidered Black Mesh Gown w Bishop Sleeves Size M

♛Details

Eye-popping late 1960s dress features satin-embroidered geometrics and paisley motifs down her lavish front panel. Optional matching cinch belt with an optional satin bow/sash detail, too. Black sheer mesh, meant to be worn layered.

This gown matches two labeled Donald Brooks out there currently, both of those without the belt. Ours has no label; label most likely would have been attached to a secondary solid black slip layer, now missing. Ours is also not priced $1950 - $2250. 

A special note on our always fair and friendly pricing: our vintage collections are intended to be worn and enjoyed, and are priced as such to put them in reach of most folks...we do not care to warehouse garments or stockpile like a museum. This in no way reflects the quality of our garments. Dealers who wish to price higher are encouraged to purchase from us and give it a shot. :)
