This dress is drop dead gorgeous. It came to me without any label and I was perfectly OK with that as it is that exact kind of little vintage 'mystery' find that I love. The dress is made out a fine silk chiffon with a very pretty pink and print on a soft yellow base. The print combines paisley and flowers and the two colors work wonderfully together. It falls from the shoulders from flat silk straps that are made form the same fabric as the rest of the dress. The bodice is fitted and gathered at the center. The dress falls loose and easy under the bust seam. It sweeps down to the floor in a sheath of silk. The bust is entirely detailed in pink, gold and iridescent sequins. These are then continued down along the length of the dress in a wide border that edges the panel of fabric that overlaps at the front. The zipper is set along one side and to not break the line the silk from the back is set to curve around and over the zipper and hook in under the front panel. This effect is a nod tot eh sari and it is very beautiful. Excellent condition
Fully lined in a deep yellow silk crepe and closes with a side set metal and nylon zipper. Part of the fabric cures around and hooks under the front panel as mentioned above. Light interior boning on the sides of the bodice. Hand finishes
