Vintage ILGWU Mint Sleeveless Maxi With Matching Cropped Jacket, Size 6

Linda the mannequin approves! This is magical--the lattice details are TDF, and the dress carries that lattice work up through the high neck--a sleeveless maxi is stunning on its own! But the matching jacket is so delicious--love, love, the crop length, and the lattice trim that ends with the ties. We love ILGWU, and this is in absolutely incredible condition--there's a reason their pieces hold up for decades. There is one tiny spot on the sleeve--I hate messing with vintage fabric, and I think it's noticeable to me because I'm a perfectionist--I did try a baking soda paste and vodka, but I was leery to use a stain stick or Oxy Clean. The label says Dry Clean Only, but the material is unmistakably a synthetic from the late '60s. Love the ruching and the MAXI skirt--this opens up like a dream--especially without the jacket--statuesque and billowing! The size is a 6, but there is tons of stretch--the jacket is 18 from pit to pit untied, the sleeves 24.5, and the length 14. The dress is 15.5 from pit to pit (but a lot of stretch) 15 at the elastic waist, and the back zips up from the massive skirt--all told, the length is 58 inches! Twirl, goddess! I styled Linda with taupe accessories--the bakelite stretch belt and the Naturalizer purse are also for sale--the mint hue is subdued, and I love it paired with earth tones. But Robin's Egg blue, pink, or coral would also pop! God bless the ILGWU. History has a place for fast fashion, but the women at the ILGWU provided depth.
