1960s Geoffrey Beene Red Jersey Shift Dress

About the Item

A late 1960s Geoffrey Beene red jersey shift dress. It has an absolutely timeless quality about it - so much so that we are struggling to date it. We are leaning more towards 1960s than the 1970s. It's in a really superb quality wool jersey which the designer was particularly well known for and of course his simplicity of design. The dress is outstanding in terms of construction and the fascinating panels are body contoured for maximum effect in slimming the body. We love the side pockets hidden in the seams on the hip line. The long zip is original and runs along the centre back. It is in absolutely extraordinary vintage condition. We don't see any faults and the dress looks as good as the day it was made. Of note - there is a museum acquisition label in the bottom of the dress with the initials F.I.T stating this was previously an acquisition of the world famous Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, one of the foremost fashion museums in the world. This is an exciting find for the serious collector or connoisseur of Geoffrey Beene's design genius. This is quite flexible in terms of sizing and would be a best fit UK size 8-10 or US 4-6. MEASUREMENTS: BUST - 38 in. (96.5 cm) WAIST - 36.4 in. (92.5 cm) HIP - 37 in. (94 cm) LENGTH - 40 in. (101.6 cm) SHOULDERS - 15 in. (38.1 cm)
