1970s Lace Maxi Dress babydoll Skirt closes with a side

Skirt closes with a side metal zipper and single button closure at the waistband

Either way it's not visible when worn (unless your arms are raised above your head) as the capelet piece covers the area

Perhaps it was meant to fasten at the back instead

Excellent condition with only minor wear commensurate with age

1970s Lace Maxi Dress babydoll Skirt closes with a side1970s maxi dress in a very soft ivory stretch lace. Bodice is trimmed in lavender and ivory satin ribbon. Square neckline has shirring over the bust. There is a back zipper closure and attached waist tie. Bodice and skirt are lined for opacity, sleeves are sheer. Hemline has a solid (no lace) ruffle with satin trim above. Fabric content shows rayon, which I believe refers to the lining. Lace is probably nylon and the bottom ruffle is cotton.
