Circa late 1960s vintage- a very rare black knit Courreges halter neck maxi dress with sequinned detailing and embroidered logo at neckline.
Tagged size 'A' (modern US XS or so), original hangtag from Courreges in Washington, DC is attached.
Modele/ style: 27868 dates this dress to 1968.
Style is also hand- written on the original tag.
Selt tie neck- the rows of black sequinned disks start at the ends of the ties, come around the neck and swooping side seams, continuing to the low U- back.
Mid to larger gauge knit, with a bit of give, 20% acrylic, 15% wool, 65% viscose- there is an almost mohair effect to the weave, with some shimmering thread sections- see close-up photos.
1' wide reverse knit hem has this same sublte sheen all the way around.
Streamlined fit through the chest, waist and upper hips.
Long skirt is very, very slightly A- lined to the hem.
A bit of black woven backing runs from nearly the ends of the ties, down the front seams, ending before the side seams start at the upper waist area.
Unworn, and in flawless condition- not a pill, run, snag or issue to report.
A highly collectible designer dress from the house of Courreges- a museum worthy piece!
