This beautiful 1960s dress has an almost identical fabric to an Oscar De La Renta I have had in the shop and is similar in quality. This sometimes happened during this time period as different design houses would sometimes shop at the same fabric mills and did not always get exclusives. The fabric is far lighter then you would think at first glance. It has the look of a brocade but the fabric is actually a textured silk organza in a deep blue. Gold lurex thread has been worked into the organza to highlight the vibrant floral print that is screened onto the dress. That pattern is fantastic and I love that it forms little hearts. Purples and corals are mixed in with bright pink flowers that cover the surface. It is cut in a long and simple sheath that widens as it nears the hem. The simple shape is easy to wear and flattering. I love how the design is set on an angle over the fabric. This cleverly draws the eye to create a longer line. The sleeves are left unlined and a flat gold lurex ribbon circles the neck. Excellent condition
