Vintage 50s Montaldo's Jackie O Style Black Empire Waist Dress sz M/L

Offered in my online vintage clothing store is a late 50s - early 60s vintage dress with the Montaldo's label! It is a Jackie O style with an empire waist and a rhinestone buckle. This little black dress is possibly couture by a Montaldo's in-house designer. "Montaldo’s, a lady’s specialty shop, was started in 1919 by two sisters, Lillian and Nelle Montaldo. It was a pioneer in the field of ladies’ ready-to-wear and was known for their high quality and personal service. Branches were found in Richmond, Virginia, Charlotte, Winston-Salem and Greensboro, North Carolina, Columbus and Cincinnati, Ohio, Denver and Colorado Springs, Colorado, St. Louis, Missouri and Bartlesville, Oklahoma. In 1995, Montaldo’s declared bankruptcy and went out of business. “Whatever is exceptional in quality and design must be offered to Montaldo’s customers.” Lillian Montaldo" (from the Vintage Fashion Guild Resources). This is an exceptional dress made of a solid black linen damask type fabric. Fully lined with a v-neck trimmed in black lace. Back center zipper. Escellent condition. No stains, rips, tears, etc. Just another fabulous find in Dena's Vintage Closet - my online vintage clothing store just for your shopping pleasure!
