1960s Jane Frye Silk Green Dress with 3D Floral Applique Vintage_Pisanti It is rare to find

It is rare to find a piece of nearly a century of age in such great condition and with such a wearable silhouette

poet style with the ruffle trim echoing that of the neckline and the bottom hem

I absolutely love design and like to think that it was inspired by the Christian Dior dress that Elizabeth Taylor wore to the 1961 Oscars where she won for her performance as a call girl in Butterfield 8

The empire line bodice is neatly shaped and darted with the long skirt gathered from the empire waistband

and has a lovely black tulle underskirt to add extra volume and movement

1960s Jane Frye Silk Green Dress with 3D Floral Applique Vintage_Pisanti It is rare to findDesigned by Jane Frye, this pretty sleeveless dress is almost certainly an early 1960s piece. It is crafted from soft, lightly textured silk or a silk blend in three complementary hues of green and adorned with sculptural appliqu of roses, buds, leaves and vines. A two toned belt encircles the waist and is clipped onto a large bow at the front with an adjustable hook and eye clasp. The skirt is softly pleated at the waist and falls to the mid calf.
