This is a vintage 60s dress made of a blue satin fabric with metallic gold “squiggle” patterning. The dress is constructed to fit a bombshell figure - ample bust and hips and smaller at the waist. The dress is made in a sleeveless style with high scoop or “boat” neckline at the front and deep V opening at the back. It is made in a knee length, is unlined and closes at the back with a nylon zipper. It has a matching jacket - the jacket has notched lapels, upper forearm length sleeves, no closures and is loose fitting.
