This dress was made by Sandine Originals NY most likely in the 1960s. I could not find any info on the company’s history on the internet, but I did see many pictures of the different styles and beautiful dresses that this company made. Based on the clothing label from other listings, I believe the time frame was in the 1960’s.
It is labeled a size 11, however a size 11 back then was much smaller than it is today. I have measurements in the pictures for shoulder to shoulder, chest, waist, dress length. If you need additional measurements please let me know.

I purchased this dress at an estate sale of a lady who had a huge collection of beautiful vintage clothing that she dressed mannequins with. They were staged throughout her home. This dress was part of that collection, but it was stored in a dry cleaning bag in a closet.
Condition: Overall the dress is in lovely vintage condition. There are a few small holes in the fabric in one area of the waist band section. The dress is lined at the top, so you won’t see them unless you are looking closely . Also, I noticed one small hole in the skirt as well. Please see the last 3 pictures which show these condition issues that I am describing. Inside the garment I noticed loose threads along the seams, but the seams themselves look good. I also took a picture of that as well.
