*FROM MY OWN PERSONAL COLLECTION - VINTAGE DON SAYRES FOR WELLMORE SAKS FIFTH AVENUE SANTANA KNIT DRESS IN AMETHYST & CHARCOAL

A beautiful vintage Santana knit dress by Don Sayres for Wellmore from Saks Fifth Avenue - you know if the dress came from Saks that it was expensive as well as a high quality dress - although this lovely knit dress has been in my collection, i have not personally worn it although someone else did as there is still a cleaner’s tag on it from being at the dry cleaners

This expensive brand used to be sold at Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bergdorf Goodman & other high-end stores in the past - if you like St. John Santana knits, you will like this brand as well because it is the same knit & fiber out of wool & rayon

This expensive classy-look dress features charcoal gray knit trim around the neck, lower front, back of the dress, on the pockets & the ends of the sleeves - the color of the dress is a pretty shade of amethyst with charcoal gray which is a striking combination - very elegant & classy looking - large pockets on the front - very unique squared set in sleeves - a fabulous heavy knit in the same combination of rayon & wool just like the St. John knit dresses.
 
John Santana knits that we all love - unlined - shoulder pads which could be removed if you wish - long back zipper

Just a very lovely vintage knit dress by Don Sayres for Wellmore from Saks Fifth Avenue perfect for when you want to look expensive & elegant

Care Instructions

We examine each item carefully and note any imperfections, but unless an item is said to be new, please don't expect it to be perfect & even some new items have small imperfections. I will always state in the description if there are any imperfections & I never do repairs but leave them to others who are better able to do them than me as that is not my expertise.

Please remember that unless specified all items have been used and will show varying signs of use or wear. We always list the obvious imperfections to the best of our abilities. However, some slight imperfections that will not show or affect wearing or using the item may slip by or not be considered worth mentioning.

Vintage nightgowns & peignoirs may be delicate so I do not wash them in the machine. I wash them in lukewarm water with Woolite or some other mild soap, then rinse & hang dripping wet in the shower.

Since these are vintage items, a bit of extra care needs to be taken with them so they remain beautiful & I definitely would never put a vintage nightgown or a peignoir in the dryer as it would ruin it.

The items are sold as we find them. We do not dry clean, launder, alter or repair vintage clothing and they should be cleaned or washed upon arrival. Please make your selection carefully & check the measurements as there is no return on clothing or other items.
