1960s Gold & Brocade Oscar de la Renta Dress designer-mary-mcfadden The gold is a true

The gold is a true gold in person and those stripes are made of an almost a tinsel-like eyelash lame fringing that is applied in slanted stripes to a black silk chiffon backing

I love the double edged hem that gives the pant a bit of weight and a killer design element

I have had the boning inside recovered for my client as they were popping out and uncomfortable - this was done by hand and to couture level standards

The waist nips in and a small peplum adds to the curved appeal of the set

1960s Gold & Brocade Oscar de la Renta Dress designer-mary-mcfadden The gold is a trueA fabulous metallic thread maxi dress with an underlying "peacock" pattern and gold thread woven through the fabric! Oscar then took that fabric and made it pop even more with the addition of a flat braided gold metal thread ribbon that runs down the entire front of the dress, across the waist and has a flat bow to finish. The cording also has little knots of gold and colored rhinestones set on it for added glitter. The skirt cascades to the floor
