Vintage Dress: 1960s Mod Party Outfit
This is a fun vintage fashion look from the 1960's. A Mod silk dress in autumn colors is perfect for parties. Right about now most of us have quite a few events in our schedule, and maybe one or two should include some sort of great outfit like this.
This mid-1960s (based on the longer length) dress is couture quality. With an "I. Magnin" label to validate this quality, it is of the lightest silk chiffon, edged in hand beaded collar and cuffs. This longer length can easily be taken up to a shorter hem, but I am listing it in that original length. It could also be belted, since it is a classic 'shift' silhouette.
Here is a close-up detail of this wonderful fabric and delicate beading around the neckline. You can see more of this MOD DRESS HERE

Vintage Dress: 1950s Outfit for Fall
This vintage dress in fall colors is a perfect transition outfit into cooler weather. Add a toasty cardi to it when things grow colder. From the 1950s or very early 60s (based on the longer skirt length), this classic 'Mad Men' era sheath dress seems to be custom made, complete with fine piping around the neckline, waistline and sleeves.
I also wanted to share how great the fabric design from this dress is. It has a neat mid-century modern air to it, with the geometric color patches and cross-hatch overlay.
