1970s Hypnotic Floral Silk Caftan [OS]
Incredible early 1970s disco era silk chiffon caftan made of an unreal hypnotic floral print in a riot of blues, greens and pinks. The simple boxy styling with just openings for the neck and wrists perfectly frames the amazing textile, allowing the rich pattern to shine. The neckline has an attached scarf that can be worn open, tied loosely, or in a pussy bow if desired. Easy, elegant and incredibly whimsical, this stunning piece is the definition of art to wear. Fastens at either wrist with hooks and eyes, but otherwise has no closures.
Excellent condition, near pristine. One or two pinholes, and a few tiny near invisible mends of the scarf pieces in the neck area that get totally lost when worn. Presents as mint.

Open sizing, fits a very wide range of sizes. Intended for a loose, draping fit.
Across chest 104 in
