Vintage 60s Jack Bryan Black Mini Dress with Beaded Collar
An absolutely dazzling vintage Jack Bryan cocktail dress, featuring an unforgettable neckline designed to turn heads. This piece is a quintessential example of 1960s or 1980s party wear, pairing a classic, simple black silhouette with elaborate, hand-finished embellishment.
Design Details:
Silhouette: A classic, simple mini/shift dress silhouette, fitted through the bodice and straight-cut through the skirt, hitting mid-thigh. The length is perfect for channeling mod, party-ready glamour.
Statement Neckline: The dress features a wide, rounded neckline that is fully covered in a wide collar of dense, shimmering embellishment. This detail covers the shoulders and upper back.
Elaborate Beading: The collar is heavily adorned with various types of beads, including:
Silver Seed Beads: Forming the dense base of the collar.
Clear/Crystal Beads: Adding major sparkle and dimension.
Faux Pearls: Providing a soft, elegant contrast.
Fringe Detail: The beading culminates in a beautiful, draped fringe along the edges, adding movement and an Art Deco-inspired cascade effect, especially across the shoulders.
Structure: The main body of the dress is a simple, structured black fabric, allowing the stunning beadwork to be the sole focus.
This piece is a perfect LBD for any formal occasion, New Year's Eve, or a themed party, requiring minimal accessorizing.
