Prettiest 1960s Oscar De La Renta Peach Iridescent Silk Organza Dress w Gold Thread Detailing

  • This dress is from the 1960s Oscar de la Renta boutique label
  • It was made under the creative direction of Oscar de la Renta.
  • The Oscar de La Renta boutique label first appeared in 1967. His boutique label is important as it is know for being the first ready-to-wear line for a Seventh Avenue designer to be launched. These early pieces have lots of hand finishes and are just stunning examples of his work during these early days of his career.
  • The dress is made out of a soft peach silk organza that has an iridescent quality to it and it has an almost crisp feel because of the metallic gold thread added to the fabric. The mix of the iridescent and gold shimmer softly in the light.
  • The organza is shot through with gold thread on specific parts of the dress to highlight the design. Oscar loved this technique during this time period and these pieces always seem to me to have a bit of a mystical eastern allure to them.
  • The sleeves are slightly full and are left semi-sheer with no lining. Each snaps to close at the wrist creating a slight puff just above. The cuffs and the sleeve just above the wrist are heavily detailed with the gold thread. Little floral designs are scattered over the rest of the sleeves.
  • The collar is notched and completely done in the gold thread and is set in a V. The bodice skims down to the seamed waist. If you wanted more definition you could add a pretty belt.
  • The skirt billows out from the waist and a final wide band of gold threading circles the hem. I love the fullness through the skirt and how those little gold floral designs are scattered throughout the whole dress.
  • The dress is fully lined in a peach silk and closes with a back zipper. Each cuff closes with hidden silk covered snaps. It appears to have been worn very little if at.
  • There is no size tag present so please go by the measurements listed below.
