1970s Purple Metallic Oscar De La Renta Dress
What a fabulous little dress and I always love having Oscar's earlier pieces in the shop. The dress is very light - I know it looks like it should not be with all that glittering gold, and indeed at first glance it appears to be a brocade, but the fabric is actually a light textured silk organza. Woven through this is a gold thread that highlights the vibrant print custom screened onto the dress. The pattern is fantastic - pinks and purples create a vivid pattern across the surface and the gold adds a fabulous glimmer. The upper bodice is loose and skims over the body and has a chic, pointed collar. This tops a skirt that has some fullness but is in keeping with the light feel of the dress. The sleeves are left unlined and billow softly above each buttoned cuff. It is very pretty and could be belted for even more shape. Excellent condition
The dress is fully lined in a purple silk and closes down the front with buttons and hook & eye. Each cuff buttons to close.
