This vintage 1960's handmade shift dress in vibrant yellow linen is the perfect day dress for those who love a Mod/GoGo look. With an empire waist and a flattering shift style, this original piece exudes retro charm. Made in the United States, this dress features a classic empire waist measuring 17” and a shoulder to hem length of 37”. The Mod style and vibrant yellow color make this dress a standout piece for any vintage fashion lover looking to add a pop of color to their wardrobe.

This handmade vintage dress is as found, in truly beautiful condition.

Vibrant canary or acid yellow. No stains or marks on front or back.

Classic A-line shift with an empire waist.

Double-breasted faux button bib detailing. Six buttons.

Short sleeve, crew neck, long zip back closure.

I’m guessing late 60’s space-age mod.

Approximate measurements are:

17.5” pit to pit

17” empire waist

15.5” shoulder to shoulder

7” sleeves

37” long from shoulder to hem

What I love and admire about this dress is the craftsmanship of the seamstress! She ( I’m assuming a woman because of the era) added subtle, but very necessary, to the look, hand stitching, front and back as an accent. Definitely into detail!

Only a couple “flaws” I noticed:

Right inside front of neck is a small greenish mark. I did not try to wash or remove it, as I’m no expert.

Very bottom of 18” zipper is a little piece of thread, which can be easily re-attached by someone good with a needle.

Other than those two things, I didn’t notice anything of issue.

Great piece for a collection. See pics
