A sweet vintage 1960s Mode-Makers by Ben Goodman Black Floral Tapestry Vest in a
black woven floral fabric with muted rose, blue, green, cream, and golden tones.
The fabric has a charming old-world feel, somewhere between Victorian parlor upholstery
and 1960s folk layering, but the cropped open-front shape keeps it very wearable.

The cut is simple and clean: sleeveless, open front, lightly structured body, and
a straight cropped hem that hits around the high waist on Dominique. It layers beautifully
over a button-down, silk shell, turtleneck, or slip dress, and brings instant texture
to tailored trousers, denim, or a high-waist skirt.

The interior label reads “Mode-Makers by Ben Goodman” with “Medium” stamped above.
Based on label style, textile, and construction, this is estimated 1960s. A great
small statement layer for anyone who likes romantic vintage without going too costume.

Marked size Medium. Shown on Dominique, who is 5’9″ and typically wears a modern
high-fashion size 2/4, with a 32B bust, 25″ waist, and 37″ hips. On Dominique, this
has an easy open fit with a cropped, structured silhouette. Best for a modern S/
M depending on desired fit and layering.
