Description
Fun and fabulous pattern mixing shakes things up on this 1960's silk gown: day-glo floral and op-art dots cover the scoop-necked bodice of the dress, while big and bold black-on-ivory polka dots decorate the A-line, ruffled hem skirt. The full sleeves end in narrow cuffs at the wrists. The waistband is raised about an inch higher in the front of the dress than it is in back, giving it an empire feel. The dress closes with a back zipper, and has a muslin lining in the skirt, with white silk lining the bodice. This psychedelic yet chic dress is in good, wearable condition, with a few small issues: a faint water mark on the front of the skirt, a few marks on the hem of the skirt, and a tiny mark on the back of the left sleeve. The dress comes with a matching floral silk and long white fringe sash/stole/scarf--use your imagination on this one--it would even look great wrapped around your hair . . .
