About the Item:

This pale yellow sleeveless mini dress is trimmed with rows of ivory lace passementerie accented by sparkling rhinestones—an elegant example of the craftsmanship that made Victoria Royal Ltd. a favorite among vintage collectors. "This is another really good example of just how good the embellishments can be on Victoria Royal Ltd.'s pieces from the '60s," Lily says. She was so taken with the dress that she had it altered from its original below-the-knee length into a mini. "I just felt emotionally tied to this one. I wanted to give it a shot for me to wear, but the occasion never arose," she says. "So hopefully she really gets her moment in the sun on The SIL."
