Vintage 1960s Kelly Green Linen Shift Dress w/Beaded Collar | Size M/L 36” Bust

Time-travel to the stylish heart of the 1960s in this stunning kelly green shift dress featuring an intricately hand-beaded collar in white and green glass beads. Crafted in linen (lined in acetate), this sleeveless dress boasts a tailored-yet-easy silhouette perfect for Mad Men reenactments, retro parties, or elevated everyday wear. A true collector’s piece. The collar design is securely sewn, and the back features a working metal zipper. Inside, you’ll find a rare manufacturing label noting order and style numbers—possibly indicating this was a production sample—alongside a genuine ILGWU label dating this garment between 1964 and 1973. This dress is in very good vintage condition, but not flawless. Two faint front stains are visible near the hem and bust area (see closeups), and there is a small area at the interior lining where the seam is separating near the zipper. Some light underarm wear consistent with age. Beading intact. 🧵 Details that matter: Fully lined Metal back zipper Hand-sewn collar embellishment Slightly structured weave ILGWU tag confirms mid-60s to early 70s origin Rare manufacturer order info on interior label 👗 Flat Measurements: Bust: 36" Waist: 36" Hips: 36" Length: 40" 🔖 Modern Fit Estimate: Medium to large, depending on desired drape.
