1960s Peach & Gold Oscar De La Renta designer-nat-kaplan The waist nips in and

The waist nips in and the† skirt is set with spaced inverted pleating so you don't get any bulk around the middle but the skirt is still allowed to widen as it reaches to the floor in one beautiful sweep

The sleeves are a single layer of the fabric and have elastics at each wrist so have the slightest balloon effect

The skirt is cut on an almost exaggerated A-line with op stitched detailing that emphasize the widening of the cut as it near the hem

This is the kind of piece that still stops traffic and is definitely not for the girl who is faint of heart

There are wonderful seaming arrow detail on each pocket

1960s Peach & Gold Oscar De La Renta designer-nat-kaplan The waist nips in andStunning sixties dress from Oscar De La Renta in a delicious feminine peach silk organza over a silk crepe interior. The organza is shot through with gold thread. Oscar loved this technique during this time period and these pieces always seem to me to have a bit of a mystical eastern allure to them. The sleeves are slightly full and are left semi sheer with no lining and each snaps to close at the wrist, creating a slight puff just above. Gold thread
