1970s Unlabeled Printed Silk Chiffon Dress w Gold & Silver Thread & Feather Collar & Cuffs
- Note that due to new customs regulations this piece can only ship to a Canadian address.
- This unlabelled piece is one of those things that you will only ever find in vintage. It is very well-made and has the feel of a designer piece but there is no label present.
- The dress is made out of a lightweight silk that has tiny little dots that combine a ultra soft chenille with a gold and silver eyelash fringe. These are scattered over the entire dress. They sit slightly off the surface of the silk to create a beautiful added texture and pattern.
- The silk is ultra light and it is a piece that you just slip over whatever you wish underneath to make it as opaque or transparent as you dare.
- The collar is high and detailed with an elaborate feather collar. I love that the feathers have been hand dyed to be little stripes of blue and white. It perfectly picks up on the pattern in the silk.
- The sleeves are long and easy and each one ends in another elaborate feather cuff.
- The shoulders are soft and the dress drapes over you with an almost caftan feel to it through the body. It skims loosely over the bust and then widen out quite a bit over the waist and hips, continuing to widen out to the hem.
- The pattern on the silk combines stylized little flowers on a feather print feeling background.
- The dress is unlined and has a touch of transparency. It slips on and hooks above a keyhole at the neck. The dress is so well made that I think you could wear the keyhole to the front or the back. The silk is completely cut on the bias and it simply drapes over the body and falls into place.
- There is no size tag present so please go by the measurements listed below. It has an easy and generous cut that should allow it to fit a range of sizes. The length may come up a touch once on the body because of the bias cut.
