Brand Poppy's Vintage Clothing

This is a wonderful vintage gold brocade dress dating to 1967.  I’ve attached a photo of the original owner at her wedding reception in 1967 - she is wearing this vintage gold brocade dress with the veil headpiece that is included.  She was a food journalist and obviously this dress held happy memories for her as she kept the headpiece and the dress in pristine condition over the last 55 years.  This vintage gold brocade dress is made in a coat style that does up the front with eight matching covered buttons.  The dress has a narrow collar, squared neckline and above the wrist length sleeves.  The dress is fully lined in white acetate.

Fabric:  52% viscose, 31% acetate, 7% polyester - I’m not sure what the other 10% is .  The base fabric is woven in a mesh-like weave and the gold spots are raised against the base fabric.

Retailer Label: Morgan’s Made in France.  Morgan’s catered to a well-heeled clientele, carrying items that were a cut above what one would find at other Canadian department stores.

Maker label:  Made in France Style 73 Size 12 Gold with the fabric content
