Tony Berkeley
1970 Dark Purple Chiffon Balloon Sleeve Capelet Dress
$250.00
This 1970s Tony Berkeley dress was photographed by John Bishop for the November 1970 issue of 19 Magazine (courtesy of our favorite vintage archive resource https://lizeggleston.com.) It's made from dark purple chiffon (likely rayon) with a cream circle and crescent moon print. It has balloon sleeves that fasten with a snap on each cuff, a low neckline that ties, and a built-in pointed capelet. The skirt is lined and the top is sheer. The dress fastens in the front with ten fabric-covered buttons.
Overall, it's in very good condition. It's possible that the hem was taken up by the previous owner, as there's 3" of fabric that can be let down. It's clean and ready to wear.
