1960s Chester Weinberg Silk Dress

We love, love, l-o-v-e this dress by genius style-meister Chester Weinberg. Silk satin in a glorious floral print of white and black on a cafe au lait background. Cut in a flared A-line, with a v-neckline in front, u-shaped in back, it has an empire waistline fitted at the bust and accented by a 3” wide adjustable black silk duoppioni belt that buckles just beneath the bust. From there the skirt eases out to fall in soft, flirty folds about the hip, creating a modified 'baby doll' line. Back zip closure with an inverted pleat at the center back of the skirt and hidden inseam side pockets at the hip. A  band of raw black silk accents the neckline and hem. Elbow length sleeves have a covered snap closure at the cuff. Fully lined in white china silk, this baby is utterly adorable and in excellent condition. With a black patent bag and heels, this is the perfect dress to wear to the wedding of your fiancé's snooty ex-girlfriend, which you had actually dreaded attending until you saw this dress. Bust measures 34", waist (actually underbust) 36", hip 40". shoulder 15", sleeve 15", length 37". $385
