Original 1960s nylon black/ silver negligée set combining a loose A-Line nightie and glamorous see-through coverall coat with neck tie.
Although designed as nightwear in the modern age this outfit works 100% as evening wear.
The dress has 2 layers of fabric for modesty as seen. The coat on top completes the outfit with its opera silhouette, tsilver lace and 3/4 sleeves
A bit of history….
This outfit was purchased as part of the extensive wardrobe belonging to an astute woman of fashion (I call her Leopard Lady as she loved leopard print) who lived to 100 years. Her daughter informed me that up until the age of 70 she always wore heels, hats and a handbag and was recognized and admired in her local high street in the Midlands.
She was a statuesque 5 feet 7 inches (170 cm) and her items are marked between size 18 - 20. By today’s standards, the clothes often come up smaller and I therefore mention the modern day size alongside any marked size.
The collection purchased includes coats, blouses, dresses, bags, hats (Large fit) and shoes (Fit 39 / UK 6) which will be listed for sale.
This particular outfit features in a humorous post ‘fashion shoot’ posts on the Marshmallowvintage Instagram.
There is no size label. In my opinion the outfit can be worn by a range of sizes from UK 12- 18 (M- XXL) although the dress would suit a UK 14 upwards best.
We advise that you check all the measurements below.
The garment is a light.
Excellent Condition. Bright Clean Fresh Colour. No Notable Flaws.
