The designer of this dress is unknown, but that makes it no less spectacular. Possibly created by renowned Italian-French designer Pierre A. Cardin, this 1960’s dress is an incredible statement piece. Done in gold and silver sequins with prong-set crystal rhinestones, this fitted mini dress exudes a timeless 1960s glamor.
