About MeThis eye-catching mini-dress was made and worn by the donor to parties in London in the early 1960s. The combination of silk, silver lurex thread and sequins results in a glamorous piece, whilst the colour and short length give a youthful edge. Dated to 1960-1961.More About Me
You can imagine this being worn by someone with a beehive hairdo and Go-Go boots.
