Turquoise color and sculpted sleeves give this handcrafted 1960s Regency knit dress
its character. The body keeps a close, simple line through the mini-length skirt,
allowing the knitted latticework to become the focus. At the high neckline, open
squares create a light border against the skin.

The bell sleeves have a more elaborate construction: raised diamond latticework 
crosses the upper arms, then gives way to long vertical knit lines and a full shape
toward the wrists. The contrast between the textured sleeves and the simpler body
is what makes the dress read so clearly in a single color.

**Modern size:** US 2/4.

**About the model:** Ghazal is 5ft 7in and typically wears approximately a modern
high-fashion USA dress size 4/6 or Medium. Her bust is 34C, waist 27in and hips 
40in.

### Styling

Delicate accessories and heels keep the emphasis on the turquoise knit and short
silhouette. Pair it with sandals and layered jewelry for a more relaxed direction.
A simple bag leaves the sleeve construction in view.

### Condition

Very good vintage condition, with minor signs of wear throughout. This piece is 
sold as-is due to its age and rarity.
