Cocktail dress with lace bodice
Hilaire Field bought this Sweet Sixteen cocktail dress from a vintage store. "I think it would have been worn by older women to all those cocktail parties they had in Auckland mid to late 1960s. I have photos of family members wearing that sort of dress with lace wrist length gloves."
