Vintage Cocktail Dress Details
Slip into a little California glamour with this 1960s Marsi’s black silk cocktail dress — a classic 1960s wiggle dress with a sleek, curve-conscious silhouette.She’s the definition of refined drama: a sculpted silk bodice topped with a sheer illusion neckline and finished with a handmade ribbon rosette right at the bust. The fit is sleek, shapely, and very XXS — the kind of dress that means business at a holiday party or a swanky dinner.
A soft cap-style sleeve shape frames the shoulders, while the back reveals a matching illusion panel and a small keyhole above the zipper. It’s classic early-60s cocktail wear with that “just stepped out of a supper club” attitude.
Made in California and union-crafted by ILGWU, this little black dress has all the mid-century pedigree you could want.
