1960s Vintage Mod Black Crepe Empire Waist Long Sleeve Dress, by Teal Traina, Small to Medium
Step back into the 1960s with this mod black crepe dress from the renowned company Teal Traina, designed during the era when Geoffrey Beene lent his creative genius to the brand. This long sleeve dress features an empire waist silhouette and thoughtful details such as zippers at the cuffs, practical pockets, and a bias-banded hem. The deep V-neckline includes a versatile modesty panel that snaps into place, allowing you to adjust the coverage as desired. The bodice is lined with synthetic fabric for comfort, while the skirt is underlined for added structure. Originally sold at Godchaux's in New Orleans, this dress embodies both vintage charm and timeless elegance.
