Norman Norell Dress

[sequole]

I found this interesting Norman Norell Wool dress. I'm wondering if anyone else out there has seen one similar to this one in a magazine or book? I'm guessing it is from the early 1960s. It has a metal zipper. I found a Norell on the Met Museum's site that had a similar neckline, fabric, pockets at http://www.metmuseum.org/Collection...9?rpp=20&pg=14&ft=*&who=Norman+Norell&pos=267

Pretty!

I am thinking maybe a bit later 60s.

Agree with Brenda, especially given the date of the dress, in the Met's collection, as 1965.

Lovely example, your dress!

Is it navy trim? Because navy was reintroduced and VERY popular in 1963, and white was the new black in the mid 60s, so I would say somewhere in there. 1964ish

Yes, I agree with Brenda and Joules about the date - it has that drop waisted 1920s styling that came in during the middle period of the '60s.

Beautiful and very elegant.
