1960’s Toni Todd Column Dress 7-225

The original hang tags and labels say it all. “Don’t be crushed! Wear UNCRUSHABLES by Toni Todd.” This sleeveless dress of a white puckery knit fabric feels cool to the touch. The first triacetate fiber of cellulose was made in the United States by the Celanese Corporation in 1954 and was discontinued in 1985.

The dress has a plain self binding on the high round neck and sleeve openings. Your body provides the shape; wear it loose or as fitted as you dare. The horizontal weave creates a slimming "ladder" effect where the eye goes up and down rather than across. The fabric is opaque; the dress would not need to be worn with a slip.

Labels: 100% Arnel Triacetate Jersey. This uncrushable by Toni Todd may be washed easily, safely. A travel must! Packs small; sheds wrinkles, Drips dry quickly. Comfortable year ‘round. New Permanent Anti-static fabric of Arnel, the Celanese ease of care triacetate fiber, 14.
