Antique Royal Blue Silk Gold Embroidered Caftan Dress
About the Item
The history of the caftan is a bit uncertain. It is believed to have originated from Turkish culture but appears in many others. In Morocco, it was first worn by men but was eventually adopted by women, as well. These loose tunics are historically adorned with ornate trims, like the intricate gold passementerie on this vintage caftan.
Done in a sumptuous royal blue silk embroidered with a floral motif, this caftan dress evokes effortless luxury and desert nights under the stars. The sleeveless design begins with a deep V neckline and falls to a maxi length at the ankles in a simple yet chic silhouette. The slits at the shoulders are secured with four gold passementerie buttons on each side of the neck, adding yet another layer of drama to this incredible dress.
The caftan features an embroidered floral pattern in coral and metallic gold thread, which offers a nice contrast to the royal blue ground. The flowers lightly decorate the front and back of the caftan, while wide bands of a complementary and more intricate floral pattern at the seam lines and hem draw the dress together visually.
A stunning addition to the discerning fashion lover’s wardrobe, this beautiful caftan is meant to be seen and is the perfect choice for a gala, wedding, or special occasion. This vintage caftan dress is unlined and slips on over the head for easy wear. It has four button closures at each shoulder. In good condition with a mark/stain at the side, ( it gets lost in the fabric folds, see last image, it has been professionally eco-dry cleaned and pressed. High-quality vintage pieces like this are yours to live in and love while increasing in value every year. It’s never too soon to start collecting them, as an investment in your wardrobe—and in yourself.

Incredible Rare Issey Miyake Pleats Please Avant Garde Color Block Dress
By Issey Miyake
Located in Boca Raton, FL
Futuristic designer Issey Miyake has mastered the technique of creating sculptural works of art in cloth. His innovative pattern cutting and signature use of micro pleating give his garments a unique form. As one of the earliest designers to take on this style of fashion, Miyake is held in high regard as a pioneer of these creative, out-of-this-world fashions.
From the Pleats Please line, this rare collector’s dress is done in a pleated fabric in shades of midnight blue, electric purple, red, magenta, cerulean, chartreuse, brown, sage, and neon green. The bright colors have a prismatic quality that makes the dress pop visually, giving the eye something new to appreciate from each angle while elevating this garment to a work of art.
The dress begins with a high straight neckline and long sleeves that reach the wrists. The front of the dress is fitted throughout, creating an elegant sheath that falls to a maxi length several inches above the ankles. The body of the dress is done in midnight blue pleats with a section of purple at the bust and a section of neon green near the hem that draws the eye. Thigh-high slits at each side of the dress allow for greater ease of movement while introducing a welcome risqué element that helps balance the volume of material on display.
Size: Small
Measurements:
Bust: 32 inches
Waist: 30 inches
Length: 50 inches
An incredible panel at the back of the dress is made up of a vivid patchwork of color-blocked fabric, adding extra depth and gravitas to this Avant Garde masterpiece. The top of the panel can be folded over the front of the shoulders to create a curving, cocoon-like shawl, or folded together at the back like wings at rest.
The panel spans the entire length of the dress and is slightly higher at the neck, adding volume and a delightful sculptural element to the otherwise columnar silhouette of the dress. An unforgettable addition to the discerning fashion lover’s wardrobe, this rare Issey Miyake Pleats Please dress is the perfect choice for a wedding, gala, or special occasion, and is sure to turn heads for many years to come.
