The Grimoire

Meet Grimoire, she is a stunning and rare 1960s chiffon and velvet mini dress, with a stunning green skirt, bow waist detailing and off white chiffon bodice. She has gorgeously dandy frilly details, stunning sleeves and a beautiful fit. Pair with tights and boots for the best vibe.

This girl measures to approx UK size 6/8

Bust - up to 33"

Waist - 26" - 27"

Length - 32.5"

 For reference our mannequin, Norma, measures to a UK 6. 

The Grimoire 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. Some slight colour run on her lining which slightly shows through the lower end of the bodice near her waist, this is faint and barely noticeable, does not detract and has been reflected in her price.

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.

Here at Pansy we know vintage sizes are very different from modern sizes, and we pride ourselves on offering accurate measurements with approximate modern UK sizing to ensure a your Pansy purchases will be a good fit.
Although we do offer approx modern sizing it is also very helpful if you know your own measurements. If you are unsure of these, an easy way of estimating them is measuring one of your own garments, that fits well, laid flat. Measure in inches, across from pit to pit, flat across the waist and double both of these measurements.  Our length measurements are mostly taken from the highest point of the shoulder to the hem.
