1960s Flowing Scarf Armed Mollie Parnis Maxi Dress
This is a fabulous 1960s Mollie Parnis and I think one of my favorite pieces by her to have ever hit the shop - it is hard not to love such a strong statement piece. It is certainly one of the most dramatic dresses I have seen and yet it still has a soft and sexy element to it. It is done in a beautiful chiffon that has been custom screened with a fantastic plaid design. The pattern is a combination of deep corals and reds with pops of different colored stripes running through. Those incredible and dramatic panels of fabric that act as the flowing sleeves give is a kimono-esque, exotic feel that is unbelievable. They are each a full 42" in length and trail down the sides. The way they move and flow when you move while wearing the dress is just incredible. The skirt flows to the ground in a column of chiffon acting as the perfect balance to the sleeves. The front and back plunge to just the right amount and the waist is defined by a wide band of gathered fabric. The contrast between the colors and the beautiful cut mixed with the volume of the sleeves is incredible! Excellent condition.
Fully lined in a deep raspberry silk crepe and closes at the back with a painted metal zipper.
