Original 1960s Vintage Black Crimplene Dress & Jacket Size 14
This is such a classic and sophisticated dress and jacket from the early 1960s. Versatile black shift dress in longer length, with looping detail at the bust, belt loops and tie belt in matching fabric. Crew neck and short sleeves with a back zip fastening. Matching jacket with same looping detail on the front pockets and four chunky black buttons to fasten. Both the dress and jacket are fully lined and made to a very high standard. Looks fantastic worn together but also great worn separately to mix and match outfits. In very good vintage condition.

Be unique with original vintage clothing from My Vintage. 1960s dress suits, vintage dress suits and vintage mod clothing, hand-picked by us from around the world!
At My Vintage, we take time to carefully measure each item of vintage clothing so that you have the best chance of ensuring a good fit whenever you buy from us. We measure the clothing laid flat as the diagrams show below and for bust, chest, waist and hips we double the measurement. For example, if the waist measures 17" across when laid flat then this would equate to a 34" waist (17 x 2 = 34)
We use the measurements we collate to assign each item of vintage clothing with an approximate modern-day size. For example, a dress with a 34" bust, 28" waist and 34" hips would normally equate to a current UK size 10. The labels on vintage clothing can vary massively depending on country of origin and date of manufacture. Clothing sizes have changed over the years and from decade to decade we see alternative types of sizing as well as variations on the way measurements equate to dress sizes.
We always recommend that you double-check the measurements of the vintage clothing item you are interested in, ideally by measuring an item of clothing you already own and that fits well, and comparing these measurements. There can be variations due to the desired fit, shape and fabric of an item but our size guidelines are normally very accurate and take the stress out of buying vintage online.
