70s Black Sequined Shirtwaist Party Dress

From the 1970s, simple cut meets over-the-top fabric.

• Sheer black fabric entirely covered in alternating, zig-zag rows of sequins and metallic chain-stitched yarn.
• Dress closes down the front placket with strong, fabric-covered snaps.
• The 10 satin-covered buttons are decorative (no buttonholes).
• Cream satin collar and french-style cuffs with two-snap closure.
• Thread loops hold attached, black satin belt with permanently knotted bow.
• Waist closes at front at either of two double sets of hooks&eyes.
• Acetate lining at bodice and skirt.
• Union made in the U.S.A.

Labels: only a care and 1974-'95 Union label remain

Fiber/Care: unknown, feels like a woven nylon with acetate lining and synthetic satins, dry-clean

Condition: the waist hooks&eyes had been moved, so we left those and added another set in the original spot (handy if you plan to eat at the party!), there is some minor discoloration at the collar crease and cuffs, we've tidied up the loose threads at the neck where a few sequins are missing (photo was taken beforehand)
