Beautiful authentic early 1960s black dress in what feels like a linen or linen-blend weave. The material has that lovely textured drape with just enough structure to flatter without clinging. Fitted bodice, high neckline, short sleeves, and a modest skirt with seamed darts for shaping.
The standout feature is the matching side-attached belt — buttoned in place at both sides to cinch the waist with just the right amount of detail. Back zipper is a nylon coil with Talon branding, suggesting a very early 1960s transition piece (zipper tech shifted right around this era).
Lined at the bodice, unlined skirt. One faint whitish scuff near the skirt hem that was mostly removed with gentle dabbing — visible only under close inspection. Ships with belt included (detached for shipping).
Flat measurements (doubled where appropriate):
• Bust: 36"
• Waist: 28"
• Hips: up to 40"+
• Length: 44"
Perfect for a minimalist vintage wardrobe, office wear with history, or a creative formal base to accessorize.
