** 1970s Unknown Metallic Knit Mod Dress – Size 2/4**

**Product Description**:

Step into the shimmering spirit of the late 1970s with this rare, no-tag metallic
knit sheath — a piece that feels like Studio 54 met Ivy League prep in the best 
possible way. With a body-grazing fit and varsity-inspired deep V neckline, this
dress balances glitter and grit in equal measure.

The subtle golden-silver base is offset with stripes of burgundy, chartreuse, and
pewter — giving a visual rhythm to the hem and neckline. Fully unlined and free 
of padding or interior shaping, it clings just enough without sacrificing movement.
Features a center back zipper and slightly tapered silhouette.

Styled on our model _Tomi_ (5’9″, Size 0/2) without pinning or clips. Likely fits
a **modern Size 2/4**. See fit notes below.
