Vintage Betsey Johnson Paraphernalia Maroon Dress

 Fresh from a Dallas estate comes this long crochet dress by Betsey Johnson for Paraphernalia from the late 1960s. The is a union tag, and the makers tag reads, "Designed by Betsey Johnson for Paraphernalia."

There is no size tag, but it appears to fit like a small or medium with light stretch. Full measurements are given below.

The dress is a long, maxi style that is fitted and then flared at the hem. It has long bell sleeves, faux buttons down front, and rick-rack trim. It is an open weave knit or crochet metallic maroon fabric.

This piece is in excellent condition overall with NO holes, snags, or stains. Part of the hem has come unstitched- shown in last 3 photos. There is a slight odor (possibly smoke) that may come out with cleaning, but we have not tried. Shipping cost includes insurance and signature acceptance.

Thanks for looking!
