This is a fantastic 1960s gown from Oscar De La Renta! Its is shockingly light - I know it looks like it should not be with the gold - at first glance it appears to be a brocade, but the fabric is actually feather weight silk, upon which gold thread has been worked in so that the entire gown glows when you move. The pattern is fantastic - blues, greens and purples with shots of hot pink, but they are all muted and washed so you get a soft pretty effect. The upper bodice and sleeves are left so that there is not gold giving a nice contrast, Those sleeves also cuff in at the wrist so that the fabric above billows out a bit. The styling possibilities are endless with this beauty and it is shockingly fresh and modern still. Current Oscar De La Renta pieces can fetch many thousands so buying a vintage piece is a excellent alternative and a smart investment move as well. Honestly, I have probably under priced this gown so snap it up while you can! Its in mint condition and a true joy to have pass though my hands!
