This very special vintage 1960s Donald Brooks dress is an iconic example midcentury fashion. Crafted of black wool, it features baguette-cut gems, which form a trompe l'oeil effect, almost like a harness or vest layered over the dress. The babydoll silhouette is so 1960s— it's fitted through the chest and sleeves, with a slight empire waist, and a built-in petticoat to create volume through the dress's skirt, which is gathered at the waist. The mini length beautifully offsets the fullness. It features a high mock neck, with buttons down the back. 

Donald Brooks founded is eponymous label in 1963, and quickly grew his clientele to include the likes of Jacqueline Kennedy. Aside from designing his ready-to-wear label, he was also an Oscar-winning costume designer.

Measurements: This will best fit a size X-Small and Small depending on height; it's cut with somewhat petite proportions and the model is a bit too tall for where the dress is hitting (at 5'7") but it still works.

Shoulders: 14"

Arm hole depth: about 7.5"

Chest: 32" laid flat, up to 34" pulled taut

"Empire" Waist: 28" (taken from top of "waistband")

Natural waist: 26.5" (taken from bottom of "waistband")

Length: 33.25" from shoulder to hem (2.75" in the hem to be let out if desired)

Sleeves: 20"

Decent Shoes with Misleading Description (Not Leather)
Size: 12 Wide, Color: Black, Size: 12 Wide, Color: Black
I only look for leather when I’m purchasing dress shoes. Under the description “details” on this item it lists the shoe as leather upper and inner lining. A photo shows “genuine Napa leather lining”. If you keep reading (which I have now that I’ve received the shoes) it shows “faux leather” in the small print and that is not “leather”. I run a small leather business and this irks me because it’s clearly false advertising. The details also show the product is made in Brazil but when they arrived today, the shoe tag shows “Made in China” and “Man Made upper and lower”. I don’t hate the shoes. They look nice. What I know is they won’t hold up over time like leather, which is why the description should be accurate and not misleading.
