A gorgeous 1970s caftan maxi dress done in a feather light, textured silk chiffon that has metallic flowers appliqued and embroidered onto the top layer. The gown is cut long and full, and is constructed of two layers of almost weightless silk - chiffon on the top and tissue silk underneath. I love the almost watteau back and the extra fullness of the cut there. It gives the dress a romantic, exotic feeling and is a stunning complement to the lightness of the fabric. Each sleeve is left unlined and billows slightly when buttoned. The hem has a heavier edging of the design and it is very easy to wear. I love it as presented but you could of course belt it to create more shape. Excellent condition.
