Absolutely exquisite vintage 1960s cocktail dress. The dress has a pretty heart shaped bodice, a giant bow at the waist and a cascading taffeta high-low skirt. The bodice is lace over taffeta and is covered with beautiful black sequins and beading. The skirt has 3 layers of built-in ruffle tulle. The outer taffeta layer is doubled and has built-in tulle for added fullness. The dress closes with a back zipper. We acquired this dress from a woman with an exceptional taste, who had the most beautiful 1960s and 1970s dresses. The label reads LOP. LOP is a label that is no longer in business and you can't find any information about them on the web, but the quality of this gown is exceptional. The care instructions are in German so we assume the dress was made in Germany.

This dress was sourced from a private collection of a woman known for her exceptional taste in 1960s and 70s fashion. The craftsmanship and fabric quality suggest boutique-level production, making this a truly rare find.

  • This vintage 1960s cocktail dress is a stunning example of mid-century formalwear. Here's a breakdown of its standout features:

  • Silhouette & Style: Strapless with a sweetheart neckline, which was very popular in the 1960s for creating an elegant, feminine shape. The high-low taffeta skirt adds drama and movement, making it ideal for cocktail parties or formal evening events.

  • Boned Bodice Details: The lace-over-taffeta bodice is richly embellished with black sequins and beading in floral patterns, giving it texture and sparkle. 

  • Cascading high-low hem
  • Skirt Construction: The layered construction—with 3 tulle underlayers and a double taffeta outer layer—provides volume and structure, enhanced by a built-in petticoat.

  • Giant Bow: The oversized bow at the waist is a bold statement, reflecting the playful yet glamorous aesthetic of the time.

  • Quality & Rarity: Though the label LOP is obscure and no longer in business, the craftsmanship suggests high quality, likely from a boutique or small fashion house in Germany.

  • Hook and eye closure and back zipper 
  • The size indicated on the label is DE38 - FR40 - IT42 - UK12
