Absolutely stunning 1960s silk chiffon one shoulder sari dress. The silk chiffon is a deep royal blue colour and she features a silver woven design with a very pale gold outline. The colour of this dress is incredibly striking in person, and in some lights she has a purplish sheen. She is fully lined in a matching blue lining and she fastens at the side with a metal zipper and hook and eye, she also features a snap which fastens the zipper placard over the zip.

Her flaws:

She has a strong musty/storage smell - I have not cleaned her
She has fading to her underarm area (see photos) and to the front right area of her bodice, particularly near the neckline
She has fabric separation on the neckline at the front and back, more noticeable on the right side front, but it is in scattered areas along the whole neckline.
Her silver woven areas are in overall good condition with only small areas of silver thread loss, her skirt woven areas look excellent.
To the front right of the skirt just underneath the woven area is a horizontal panel of discolouration, it has turned a more purplish blue.
The fabric on the edge of the bow has separated, there are many loose threads. Having said that it's perfectly wearable as it is.
She has an area of brown spots on the skirt, they are hard to see unless looking closely, the largest of these spots is 1/2 inch high by 1/4 inch wide, most are less than 1/4 x 1/4

36-38 bust (shown on mannequin who is a 35 1/2)
38+ waist (generous due to empire style)
54 inches long
