Item Description
This stunning green vintage evening gown is far from a custom tailor piece — the original tags reveal its true identity. This is a highly collectible dress that has never been worn.
Brand & Fabric
The dress was branded by Halray Original California and it was sold by Margo’s (Margo’s La Mode) — a well-known mid-century boutique chain based in Texas. For collectors and vintage buyers, this regional label adds wonderful historical and local charm.
The fabric tag is the highlight:
Skinner Fabric – Deep Lustre Satin
William Skinner & Sons was one of America’s most prestigious silk and satin manufacturers. “Skinner Satin” is widely recognized among vintage collectors for its exceptional sheen, durability, and luxury quality.
The white feather trim neckline reflects classic 1950s–60s Hollywood glamour styling — elegant and dramatic, perfect for formal occasions.
Era & Sizing
Based on the tag design, typography, and the “All Acetate” fabric content, this gown dates to the late 1950s to early 1960s.
Tagged Size 8 (Vintage sizing)
Please note: Vintage sizing runs extremely small compared to modern standards — approximately equivalent to US 00 / XXS.
Buyers should rely on actual measurements for fit.
Collectibility & Value
Because the dress retains its original store and fabric tags, it qualifies as true Deadstock — a highly desirable “holy grail” condition in the vintage market.
