Recognize this hardware?

These chrome pieces were attached to a vintage (early 1970's?) dress that I bought about 15 years ago. It was an off-white knee-length sleeveless sheath. The points of the "V" attached to the neckline and the circles hung below.

I removed these pieces before taking the dress to the cleaners, and never re-attached them. Eventually I outgrew the dress and got rid of it. I never looked at the labels because I had no interest at that time. :icon_wall:

I just came across these pieces, and wondered if anyone remembers seeing a dress like that, or knows of a designer that used this kind of embellishment.

Looks very much like Pierre Cardin.

Thanks!

I'm going to try to find another dress to attach them to.

I have a Pierre Cardin dress that this would look really grea with -- do you want to just sell the metal pendant thingy?

 

[Ookoo]

If I can't find the right dress, I'll sell the metal part.

 

[Ookoo]

Jonathan, do you still want this? If so, send me your address and I'll mail it to you.

I FINALLY got a photograph of the metal necklace on the Cardin dress. I think it works REALLY well. It's not original, but it sure looks like the sort of thing Cardin had on his 1970 dresses...

Looks great!

I agree - perfect!
