Blue popular Chiffon Sleeveless Empire Waist Dress with Embroidered Blue and Green Daisy Bodice, Fully Lined, Vintage 60s – 70s
This is the sweetest dress ever!
It originally had long chiffon sleeves and was full length. I had a vision of the dress shortened with no sleeves. I took it to the alterations shop and holy cow! The dress looks exactly liked I imagined it and they did such an exceptional job that you cannot tell the dress was altered! You can tell its vintage but it looks completely updated!
The dress is fully lined in a blue with a blue chiffon over-lay. The empire waist bodice is blue chiffon with embroidered daises in blue, green, and white with blue lining. The dress is sleeveless and there is an attached blue satin ribbon at the empire waist tied into a permanent bow in the front.
The dress is ultra-feminine and perfect for events in warmer situation. I will be sending the chiffon material that was cut off as I think it might make a nice little shoulder wrap – any alteration place should be able to do this or simply throw it away.
The dress is in outstanding condition – no stains, holes, or tears and the metal zipper is in good working order.
The dress has not only been altered, but has popular been dry cleaned as well. A light touch with an iron may be required due to shipping.
