Under that the buttons are set in a double row and sit higher up on the bodice

Perhaps there is the very occasional missing bead or sequin but I see no areas of missing or bare areas

It still has an extra button sewn at a sewn inside near the hem

The taper slightly as they near the cuff

1960s La Mendola Grey Toned Feather Print Dress Cape & Turban Set designer-george-halley Under that the buttons areThe duo behind the La Mendola label met in Rome in 1960 and started their business making dresses and selling them one by one, piece by piece. In 1967 they opened a shop and women like Elizabeth Taylor and Rita Hayworth become steadfast clients who were buying, and even wait listing for pieces as they were produced. They were located in Italy and their atelier closed in 1974. The prints that you see on the La Mendola pieces were all done in house.
