Early 1960s Dorothy Pink Brocade Wiggle Dress – Size 0/2

Product Description:

Soft power in structured pink. This early 1960s cocktail dress by Dorothy is the definition of subtle spectacle—rendered in a richly woven rose brocade with silver threads and an exaggerated off-shoulder bow collar topped by a sculptural rosette. The silhouette is classic wiggle with elegant restraint, while the hand-finished label and matching pink zipper pull confirm its midcentury provenance with a hint of transitional ‘50s glamour.

Interior is fully lined with tonal seams. The original label reads “Specially Hand Made by Dorothy” in red chainstitch embroidery, affirming the one-of-a-kind craftsmanship behind this piece.
