pauline trigere

1970s Silk Chiffon Pauline Trigere Caftan Dress

This is a lovely and versatile dress with a very easy to wear cut to it. The cut has a plunging neck with a tie sitting at the bottom of the plunge and because of the way it is cut it works equally as well to wear this at the back as it does the front. On the opposite side the collar is high and has soft pleats where the fabric is set into it - the attached tie acts as a high collar and the way it drapes again works whether you wear it at the front or the back. The cut is full so you can wear it loose and easy like a caftan or you could easily belt it to create shape. To contrast the fullness through the body, each sleeve is more fitted and skinny. I  love the dusting of rhinestones that runs over the fabric near the plunge to create just a touch of glitz. Excellent condition

The inner attached jersey dress acts as the lining. The exterior dress is semi-transparent. Slips on to wear.
