Authentic vintage "wiggle" dress from the 1950s in golden olive raw silk fabric.

• Constructed with dressmaker details
• Slim shirtwaist styling features stand-up, cross-over neckline, eight covered-button placket with hand-finished bound buttonholes (yum)
• Three-quarter, kimono-cut sleeves with underarm gussets and elbow darts
• Subtle blouson bodice
• Waist has slim elastic on the interior, but appears smooth and tailored on the exterior
• Hip darts for smooth shaping. Back slit for ease of movement
• Pinked seams 

Note that the color of this dress is sophisticated and elegant. Golden olive is what comes to mind, but it could also be described as a cross between gold, olive-green, and a mustard yellow-brown. The silk (or silk-like fabric) gives it a rich sheen. It would look great with dark-brown lizard accessories, such as this handbag.
