A B O U T

This fabulous 1960's Teal Traina (designed by Geoffrey Beene) dress epitomizes the sleek, modern lines of 1960's American fashion. Crafted from finely woven black wool, the sleeveless sheath silhouette features a high, softly structured funnel neckline and a dropped waist cinched by a matching belt with a rhinestone-encrusted buckle. Rhinestone button details at the hips add a subtle sparkle, balancing sophistication with understated glamour. 

The dress is fully lined and impeccably tailored, a hallmark of Teal Traina’s reputation for creating wearable luxury. Its clean, architectural lines and minimal embellishment reflect the influence of the era’s leading designers, while the jeweled details lend an evening-ready touch. A rare detail is the original Joseph Magnin price tag, still attached, noting its purchase price of $140.00—a substantial sum in the 1960s, underscoring the garment’s status as a high-end investment piece.

An exceptional find in both condition and provenance, this Teal Traina dress embodies the refined minimalism of 1960s New York fashion, complete with its original boutique tag. 

*About Teal Traina:

Founded by Anthony Traina (who had earlier partnered with Norman Norell), Teal Traina became a leading Seventh Avenue label known for elegant daywear and cocktail attire. In 1964, designer Geoffrey Beene became head designer at the house, cementing its reputation for youthful, modern designs that combined couture-level construction with American practicality. Pieces from this period are particularly prized for their quality and timeless sophistication.
