Vintage RARE 60s Geoffrey Beene Black Lace High Neck Ruffle Long Sleeve Dress 12

Size- Marked a vintage 12, probably best for a modern M/L but please compare measurements to a dress you own. Measurements (approx)- bust 18” (doubled 36") waist 15” (doubled 30") length 43” sleeve 24” Details- Early 60s era Geoffrey Beene dress in an amazing combination of decadent black silk taffeta and a beautiful fine lace backed by a nude colored silk! The bodice is fitted with long sheer lace sleeves and a high ruffled neckline with attached bow. The skirt is fuller than it first appears- deep inverted pleats are set all around so it has lots of fabric. The silk fabric has just enough weight to help hold the shape and structure of the dress. Back zipper. Condition- Good condition for its age but not perfect. The collar lace is purple instead of pure black, there is a few areas of imperfection to the lace on the sleeves, and the inside stitching is visible and might need to be repaired at some point in the future but it is couture so it’s hand hand-stitched. There is also a little white thing in the waist that I believe is the remnants of a where a wide belt used to be. You can remove it if you’d like. I crosslist on multiple platforms. I am also saving up to move to Europe. If you like this item (or anything else in my closet!) make me an offer and help make my dream of living in Italy a reality! B2
