Unlabeled Vintage Full Open Caftan Dress w Pink & Metallic Thread Hand Done Embroidery

• This is a fantastic unlabelled vintage piece that most likely dates to the 1970s but could be earlier.
• It is one of the best unlabelled caftan pieces that I have had in the shop.
• The base fabric is a loose weave fabric that I believe is a type of jute scrim. It has the feel of an extremely light-in-weight burlap with a loose weave that makes it semi-transparent between the embroidered parts. It is utterly fantastic and one of the best textiles I have seen.
• Onto that base is a combination of a dusty rose embroidered thread that has almost the feel of a yarn to it, mixed with a more true pink coloured thread. This forms a gorgeous pattern over the entire caftan and is also used on all of the edges. There is also a third pale silver grey thread that has that same soft finish.
• Mixed into those are both gold and silver metal threads that highlight various parts of the design. They add a gorgeous subtle metallic glint to the piece.
• The cut of the caftan makes it extremely easy-to-wear and fit. It slips over the head with no closures and it is completely open in between the outer side seams. This should allow it to fit just about any body type or frame.
• The neckline is scooped and cut wide across. At the front it is set in a slight V. The shoulders are soft and extend down to the side seams where there is a open slit edged in embroidery that you slip your hands through.
• From there it cascades full and open to the floor and moves beautifully around you when you move. The edges are slightly curved and this creates a beautiful draping down each side. 
• This is an extraordinary textile and one of those pieces you will only ever find in vintage.
• The caftan is unlined and has a slight transparency. To wear it you just slip it over your head and there are no closures. I see perhaps the occasional loose thread but there are no outstanding flaws whatsoever.
• There is no size tag present. Please go by the measurements listed below.
