Vintage 1970s Gold Metal Mesh Backless Mini Dress - Whiting & Davis Attributed Weight: 14.6 oz Length: 35" Waist: 28" Slit: 11"Removable back chain 13.5" Authenticator Notes: Authentic vintage 1970s gold-toned metal mesh mini dress featuring a deep cowl front, dramatic open back, and a side slit. While unlabeled, the mesh body is attributed to Whiting & Davis based on the signature material specs, tile design, and underside ring-link construction. Hardware & Modifications Note: Body: Original vintage non-magnetic brass-based metal mesh. Straps & Closures: Modern aftermarket additions. The neck strap assembly, lobster claw clasps, jump rings, ribbon crimp caps, and removable lower-back stabilizer strap are contemporary replacement hardware added for function and wearability. Authenticator & Construction Details 1. Mesh & Link Analysis Tile Construction: Features octagonal gold-plated tiles secured on the reverse by heavy-gauge, independent four-pronged metal rings. Material Properties: The body mesh is non-magnetic brass with genuine age-appropriate oxidation in the ring crevices. It exhibits the substantial weight and signature "cold-to-the-touch" feel of authentic 1970s Whiting & Davis mesh rather than lightweight modern aluminum or zinc reproductions. 2. Edge Finishing & Unlabeled Status Neckline: Factory-terminated mesh borders along the cowl line. Sides & Slit: Raw, cut mesh edges along the side seams, indicating custom hand-shaping from vintage mesh sheets. Lack of Tags: Commercial 1970s Whiting & Davis garments typically featured sewn fabric linings where metal ID tags were attached. Unlined, raw-edge pieces like this generally originate from unlined showroom samples, editorial shoot prototypes, or custom costume house builds made using raw Whiting & Davis mesh panels. Item Specifications Classification: Vintage Metal Mesh Mini Dress (Whiting & Davis Attributed) Era: Late 1970s – Early 1980s Material: Non-magnetic gold-finished brass mesh (~3mm octagonal tile gauge); modern steel/iron alloy hardware Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The main mesh body is fully intact with no missing tiles or splits. Modern replacement hardware applied at strap connection points as noted.
