Gorgeous little seventies silk dress by the Holt Renfrew label that has such a pretty and fresh look! It is made of two layers of silk - a solid interior that acts as a lining to that wonderful multiple colored exterior. This dress is all flutter and lightness - the skirt is long and lean and ends in pretty asymmetrical points The bodice softly drapes and each sleeve starts at the base of the waist. The cut of the sleeves is very unusual - each is open underneath and then cuffs at each wrist- so you get the effect of a full balloon sleeve combined with almost a capelet feel. The fabric has thin lines of gold threading running through it and adding an extra dimension to the floral pattern. I love how the skirt is done so the lines are vertical and the top horizontal. Gorgeous and it weighs ounces! Excellent condition!
