Vintage 1970s David Edden Butterfly Sleeve Mini Dress

This rockin' mini dress is made from scarf material with hand-rolled hems and features a bold paisley print.  Elastic neckline allows the sleeves to be worn on or off the shoulders.  Fabulous hand shirring on the bodice with a gathered shelf bust.  Angel sleeves add drama. 

 

DETAILS

Label:  David Edden

Best fits:  XS (see measurements)

Circa:  Late 1960s / early 1970s

Fabric:  Silky polyester (?  feels very satiny)

Condition:  Overall very good.  The dress is in excellent condition, but there is just a hint of age fading in the dark blue background (fading ever so slightly to a purple).  This is extremely difficult to detect, but mentioned for accuracy.
