Vintage Metallic Gold Crinkle Shift Dress Size 4 Sleeveless Deep V Neck Evening

DESCRIPTION

A vintage size 4 sleeveless shift dress in richly textured metallic gold, cut in a clean knee-length silhouette with a deep V-neckline edged in contrasting black. The crinkled, almost hammered-metal surface catches the light unevenly rather than reading as a flat metallic fabric, giving this wonderfully simple shape considerably more depth and evening presence.

WORTH NOTING

• Tagged women's size 4.
• Sleeveless, straight shift silhouette with an elegant deep V-neckline.
• Metallic gold fabric has a distinctive crinkled, hammered, lamé-like texture that reflects light across the surface.
• Narrow black edging beneath the V-neck creates a subtle contrast and visually defines the neckline.
• Approx. knee length, depending upon the wearer's height.
• Minimal silhouette allows the unusual textile to remain the principal feature of the dress.
• Particularly suited to cocktail, evening, holiday, New Year's Eve, dinner, and special-occasion dressing.
• Estimated era: made before 2007; exact decade and designer have not been confirmed.

MEASUREMENTS

Tagged size: 4

Approx. 37 in shoulder to hem.

Bust: approx. 18 in flat / 36 in circumference.

Waist: approx. 16 in flat / 32 in circumference.

Measurements are approximate and taken with the garment laid flat. Please compare measurements with a similarly shaped garment that fits you well, as vintage sizing can differ from modern sizing.

CONDITION

Good vintage condition with light age-appropriate wear consistent with prior ownership. Metallic textile retains its wonderfully dimensional crinkled surface and strong gold presentation. Minor surface, edge, or finish variation may be present upon close inspection; please review photographs closely for the neckline, underarms, seams, hem, and metallic fabric.

FROM THE HOUSE

Gold does not necessarily need sequins to make an entrance. The wonderful thing about this dress is the restraint of the silhouette against that extraordinary hammered-looking textile—simple heels and very good earrings would be quite enough.

We invite you to wander through our storefront for other vintage dresses, evening pieces, and beautifully unusual things to wear. If this is nearly—but not quite—the one, another may catch your eye; and if you're searching for a particular size, era, silhouette, designer, or occasion piece, do send us a note. We often curate for women looking for something quite specific.
