It is not a secret..

.that I'm a crazy fool for vintage clothing. I used to be a regular at Beyond Retro while it was located inside of the gallery Zouk, in Stockholm. Now, does anybody know where the new store is at?

1970s Albert Nipon Silk Dress

What a stunning piece! Made entirely of silk chiffon, each of those pleats are meticulously sewn to lie flat and perfect until it they are allowed to swing out free in the skirt bottom.

I love the drop waist styling an the dramatic ruffle that ends each sleeve. The dress weighs mere ounces and that wide boat neck collar anchored on either side with a art deco rhinestone piece just add to its deliciousness.

It's a fine example of the 1970s references to past examples and will increase in value as well.

The dress is meant to skim over the body in the fashion of a twenties dress so think about how this will work draped on your frame. It is unlined and closes with a side zipper and a series of snaps.

The fabric is a silk chiffon and will require a slip under it. It should be dry cleaned using standard dry cleaning methods when cleaned in the future.

I'm bringing sexy back? Oh god, I so love this butterfly dress!
