Vintage Ivory & Gold Metallic Lace Feather-Hem Mini Dress

Possibly Custom-Made | 1960s-Inspired Silhouette A little extravagance, beautifully preserved. An extraordinary vintage cocktail mini rendered in ivory floral lace with shimmering metallic-gold detailing. The softly structured rolled neckline, long sleeves, and gently shaped silhouette give way to a dramatic feather-trimmed hem—a striking balance of restraint and spectacle. A center-back zipper and hook-and-eye closures finish the design. The body is lined in lightweight ivory woven fabric, while the metallic floral lace lends dimension and a subtle golden glow. Unlabeled and possibly custom or home-sewn, this distinctive piece recalls the playful glamour of 1960s eveningwear.

Curator's Note A dress with its own sense of occasion. The ivory-and-gold lace catches the light quietly; the feathered hem makes the entrance. We imagine it with a petite pillbox hat, satin heels, and a beautifully understated clutch. No occasion too small for a little drama.
