Woven in a pale orange mixed‑fibre bouclé, it has that perfect nubby texture and soft structure that screams mid‑century cool. The clean, classic shift silhouette makes it endlessly wearable, while the warm citrusy hue adds a playful pop of color. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote: The fabric is a mix of wool for the boucle texture and cotton in between. There is no lining so I do recommend this over a slip or other base layer for added comfort. With that said, the boucle is much more prevalent on the exterior than the interior. See photo. Would love lovely over a cream turtleneck in the colder months. I would call this a multi season weight. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHISTORY: Bouclé knit fabric has a rich heritage rooted in European textile traditions, with origins tracing back to France, where the term bouclé—meaning “curled” or “looped”—describes its distinctive textured surface. Originally valued in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries for warmth and durability, bouclé evolved from practical outerwear and upholstery into a symbol of refined style. By the mid‑twentieth century, it became closely associated with fashionable knitwear, prized for its soft, nubby texture and elegant structure. Its enduring appeal lies in the balance it strikes between comfort and sophistication, making bouclé a timeless fabric woven into the history of classic fashion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDATE: Circa 1960s\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCONDITION: This item is in overall excellent, gently worn, vintage condition. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCARE: Dry clean for best results\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLABEL: None\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMEASUREMENTS: With this being a slip on dress with no zipper, I would call this a size XS\/S.
