1960s Cheongsam Butterfly Dress
I doubt you will find another cheongsam inspired dress as spectacular as this one is. Cut on traditional lines while the fabric used is utterly non-traditional! This dress has been constructed from a very fine silk wool jersey that is lined in a equally sine silk crepe. The hue of the exterior is wonderful - a coral red that has depth and interest. The print is absolutely brilliant - huge swooping butterflies in black and cream swoop across the entire piece, all hand screened onto the fabric. A high collar and large black braided frog closures run down from the high neck and also sit atop each side slit of the skirt. Eye catching and a brilliant interpretation of a traditional garment. Excellent condition!
