Size 8 Silk Dress - 1960s Ticker Tape Novelty Print Sheath - 60s Jade Green Blue Goldenrod Brown Asymmetric Shift - Grecian Drape - 46842

An unusual and elegant design from the mid 1960s, this silk sheath has a smooth layered effect with an asymmetric drape that's gathered at the left shoulder and slanted across the front hip. In back, the overlay falls to a weighted point - it's avant garde meets Grecian drama in posh novelty print silk. Lined in silk to the overlay, faced in muslin to the sheath, with beautiful quality details like careful hand-finishing.
