| This 24k pairing for your own Breakfast at Tiffany's moment comes from a smart Manhattan boutique of the era. Though not "made to match," the cape and mini-dress are a perfect union.
The dress is of lustrous shantung silk (do they make this any more?) in a sparkling shade of pale golden champagne. The ever-so-slightly gored lower portion of the skirt is accented with a self bow caught in the center by a dome of sparkly AB iridescent rhinestones. Beautifully made and tailored and absolutely Mint!
The cape is an arc (With arm slits) of tone-on-tone champagne houndstooth, very chic, accented with plump pearls and rhinestones against an antique gold gimp. Likely made of a rayon blend, the cape is also in prime vintage condition, approx. 44" wide across the shoulders and 33" long. Wouldn't this ensemble be complete with black shoes, accessories and black bracelet-length gloves? |
