Meet Talisman, she is a precious and RARE late 60s early 70s printed velvet dream dress by coveted designer of the time Colin Glascoe. I suspect this is a silk velvet and this gem was also made in India. I absolutely adore this one, that printed shimmering velvet is DIVINE, with a dark green base and hints of reds and yellows in that unusual print. She has a scoop neckline, button detailing, flared sleeves, nipped in waist and a skirt that hangs beautifully. This is a true rare Heirloom piece by an iconic designer of the time, and I know she will be adorned in her next abode..
This girl measures to approx UK size 10 small 12
Bust - up to 36"
Waist - 30"
Length - 54"
For reference our mannequin, Norma, measures to a UK 6.
The Talisman has been freshly cleaned and is ready to wear. DRY CLEAN ONLY. She is in good vintage condition, she has a few minor signs of wear.
ALL vintage velvet comes with small signs of wear to the pile of the fabric. This is part of the charm.
This beauty has minimal signs of vintage wear, but please bear in mind that our pieces are true vintage, they’ve been danced in and they have been lived in, so all of our garments will carry your usual signs of vintage wear. Anything that we think is outside of what would class as usual vintage wear, we will state.
