The world’s oldest dress.


The Daily Mail reports  radiocarbon dating has confirmed a garment found in an Egyptian tomb is over 5,000 years old, making it the oldest known woven garment. All that remains of garment tailored to fit an Egyptian elite is a V-neck pleated bodice and sleeves. The Tarkhan dress was found decades ago but it took researcher years to establish its age. We’re no strangers to vintage garments, but this certainly takes the prize for couture from the past.
