Vintage 1960s Dress and Jacket Ensemble by Daymore Turquoise w Beaded Collar
This vintage 1960s dress and jacket ensemble by Daymor consists of a sleeveless dress paired with a cropped, tailored jacket, both rendered in a vibrant turquoise colour with a subtle slub. I believe that it is made of silk, but it is unlabelled, so I can’t be 100% sure. The dress features a fitted sheath style with a high neckline finished with a silver-toned lace collar accented with iridescent crystal beading. The coordinating jacket matches the dress fabric and is designed with a clean, structured silhouette, covered buttons, and matching beaded trim at the cuffs.

Silk or possibly a silk-look fabric - it feels like silk to me, but it is unlabelled, so I can’t say for absolutely sure
