MUST HAVE! | Rumpelstiltskin | Vintage 1960s 1970s Striped Blue modal Square neckline Frilled sleeves Dress with Gold Threads
The story:
We have come across just a few dresses from the past with gold threads woven through. So succinctly, so subtly, so beautifully you don't even realise it's there until you look closely.
We love the masculine square neckline on this (lends it a more sense of formality) and the frills that balance off with a bit of femininity.
Comes with matching fabric buttons down the bust and 2 hip pockets.
Elastic is shot thus it's more like a loose-fit dress (which we prefer anyway, nothing to emphasis our apple-shape body :D)
Pinned?: No.
