1960s Vintage Holly's Harp Silk Jersey Dress

Here is a gorgeous, and rare vintage designer dress by Holly Harp. This is from her Holly's Harp line. The beautiful and romantic dress is done in a Thirties style: long, with dolman cap sleeves (actually, not sleeves but long slit openings), insert waist, self tie-belt, and a short zipper in front below the buttons. The buttons are very special, and may even be from the Thirties; they are big, round, clear lucite.

The skirt is long, and cut on the bias. The fabric is silk jersey, in pale peach, with a sort of dotted stripe design in red and purple. The fabric almost looks hand painted, and may be.

The size is marked small; the fabric has some give.

It measures:

Bust - 32"

Waist - 24"

Hips - 39"

From shoulder to waistline - 15"

Length - 59"

In #1 very good condition: almost perfect, and doesn't really look worn, but the former owner let down the hem and cut a strip from the bottom, so the hem is raw. The extra fabric will be included and could be used for an alteration, if needed.
