1960s Dramatic Gold Silk Brocade Caftan Dress

What a gorgeous gold metallic brocade dress that has a really unusual color play worked into the fabric! The fabric is a good weight brocade that is heavy enough that the dress can keep that slightly sculpted shape, but it is not so heavy that is feel uncomfortable on or unwieldy to wear. It is an incredible mix of gold and black and has huge metallic blossoms worked over its surface. In the center of each blossom blue and pink metallic threads lay under the white thread weave in each petals center and this creates a really pretty and unusual effect. The neckline is high with a rounded cut. The sleeves are incredible and widen as their near the cuffs and each ends in a point that is cut longer then the rest of the sleeve. The bodice skims over the body and from there flares out on an angle to create that dramatic shape. The gold brocade gives it a fabulous rich feel and in person it has a much more overall metallic gold feel that really pops in the light. Excellent condition.

Fully lined in a hand set, black crepe. It closes with a back zipper and hook & eye at the back neck.
