Tell Me What this Print Makes You Think Of.

I am trying to get this early 60s 2 piece dress/suit listed and I just can't seem to come up with good key words. What does the print look like to you? Should I say sheath dress, bombshell or what? It is really a nice outfit and I want to do it justice.

The faraway view I thought the game Blockbreaker or maybe some type of grids
but close up, i have absolutely no clue.

Linda, I always have the hardest time coming up with titles & KW for these 60's suits & dresses! I love the classic tailored profile of them, while they often have the non-traditional prints like yours. It's a big dilemma, IMHO! Close up this print looks like a tiny paisley print; I see wee mini paisleys there! I might call it a "stylized mini-paisley print." Classic 60's sheath dress w/mini paisley print? I think paisley is still a searched KW....

Thank you, Anne. You always come to my rescue and I so want to get this listed and on to something else.

I do see the paisleys!!

tiny op arty paisley???

 

[MyVintageCocktail]

Chris, your "op arty" is much better than my "stylized"! Far more descriptive, and I'm sure far more searched!

Should I say sheath dress, bombshell or what?

sheath instead of bombshell. Aside from the pattern, to me this is much more Jackie Kennedy or classy/tailored than it is sultry vixen.

Okay, I did put paisley and sheath and think I will go revise and put op art, too! :D

Hi Linda,

It also looks like paisley lace...there seems to be a lace patterning in there as well.

Uh Oh, there is!! Off to change again! Thanks.

Funny how you can look at something and not see it.
