About the Item

A striking and original 1970s kaftan or trapeze style dress. It has a brightly coloured floral Paisley pattern in red, orange, green and white tones against a black background. The fabric composition is not known but it feels like a good quality medium weight acrylic jersey. It has a high neckline with a keyhole opening and empire bust-line and a series of vertical panels to ensure a fabulous draped effect. The tie element of the dress acts to cinch it in at the waist as required. This feature is unusually located on the inside of the dress and pulls through from the armlet holes as an extension of the empire line before flowing into the trapeze or kaftan style. It is in really excellent vintage condition - the colours are very fresh and bright and it has no faults of any note. Perfect as resort wear or evening attire. Due to the style of the dress it will fit a range of sizes up to around a UK 10, US 6. Unlabelled but of good manufactured quality and likely to have retailed in a boutique of the era. Our model is a UK 8-10 and 5ft 11in (180 cm) and this dress fit her well. MEASUREMENTS: BUST - 30 in. (76.2 cm) WAIST - 30 in. (76.2 cm) HIP - 36 in. (91.4 cm) LENGTH - 57 in. (144.8 cm) SHOULDERS - 16.5 in. (41.9 cm)

MORPHEW COLLECTION Orange & Blue Multicolored Silk Conversational Print Kaftan
Located in New York, NY
From the Victorian period to the 1950s, 60s & 70s western fashion has been utilizing Indian sari silks in their designs. When speaking with our factory manager in India about sourcing real metal lamé he told us about a collection of antique sari his mother and aunts had in storage. We immediately knew we had to see them. Unlike modern sari and other metallic textiles which are woven with a more cost effective polyester fiber. The vintage sari silk is woven with real metal threads. These looms have to be manned by hand and it is a slow and laborious process which no one wants to resurrect. Each piece is made one at a time, utilizing the borders of the sari to maximum impact. Because many of the textiles are half a century old a few minor imperfections may be present. Think of these as time keepers and story tellers of the colorful Indian weddings and festivals they were worn to in their past lives. The beautiful metallic threads and silks still shine on for years to come. MORPHEW COLLECTION Orange & Blue Multicolored Silk Conversational Print...
