I'm still working on the details of this. But ooooohhhhlalala.
The outter layer of this dress is like a "crocheted lace straw". It was custom made in Italy and has no tags.

I just purchased a great collection of vintage and this is one of the goodies. She should be listed by Friday at latest. Still need measurement stuff. I'm hopin' it's gonna be a hottie!

Got any suggestions for great keywords & such???
 
Is this from your major shopping trip the other week? You DID find some goodies.. I've never seen anything like it either, is it like raffia? Very cool - I love the neckline!
 
It's beautiful, and hot, hot, hot! IMHO, any time you can say "custom made in Italy," that's a huge plus! You might want to use "Italian" something or other in your main title, then add a subtitle expounding on that!!! Custom Italian design, custom tailored in Italy, .... And, of course, the fabric is utterly amazing!
 
I can see this on Sofia Loren in her day...
It does look like raffia... I JUST acquired a 60s raffia suit that appears to have the same exact weave of raffia but oh myyyy your dress IS to die for!
I am assuming this is a size small?

I wonder what the "care and cleaning" on a raffia dress would be.

And I wonder (sincerely, not joking) - would it make noise when you walked? Or is it like some of the raffia on purses where it is tightly woven or in some way "coated".

Michelle, I wanna see that suit!
 
Thanks folks ... She does have a feel almost like a straw purse but somehow it's "soft" and not scratchy to the feel.

I forgot to mention.... I actually owned this dress several years ago and sold it to the woman I bought the collection of stuff from. We laughed ..cause I told her I didn't see too many familiar friends in the group - ...she said that's because she's keeping all that she bought from me.... oh blush blush!

Yep it's small in terms of a 5/6. We just finished the tech stuff yesterday on a group (including this dress). They'll all be on by the weekend - some great 30s lingerie nightgowns too!

oh boy!
 
At least it went back to a good home where someone else will find it and love it. A size 5/6...depending on what measures you deem that size...is a decent enough size where its not super tiny!
