Early 60s style Kingfisher blue taffeta cocktail dress June 30, 2016 Irma RomeroLeave a comment This lovely early 60s inspired cocktail dress in kingfisher blue silk taffeta has the typical pleated ‘puffed’ skirt of the era, a slashed neckline, with a deeper one at the back. The original 50s plastic buckle has a mother of pearl feel to it.
