1970s Oscar de la Renta Floral Silk Wrap Dress

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We doubt anyone will dispute the undeniable femininity of Oscar de la Renta's designs.  Maybe its that Cuban blood or maybe just sheer genius, most likely its the combination of the two which serves to create the beautiful designs of de la Renta. This whispery dress is a fine example of Oscar's knack for making women look like women.  Lustrous silk charmeuse in a gorgeous cabbage rose print of bubble-gum pink, white, leaf green and black on an apple red background.  The dress is collarless with a deep v-neck.  It wraps and closes with snaps and a hook at the left front waist, where it is softly pleated, then falls to a slight curved hem.  Inside at the waist there is a grosgrain ribbon to help hold the dress in place. Short sleeve is ever-so-slightly puffed - another very girly touch. A long detached scarf wraps around the waist to tie as you wish.  Made for Oscar's Miss O line, it has a tiny ink mark on the inside edge of the collar, otherwise the dress is in excellent condition.  Bust  36", waist 26", hip 36", shoulder 14.5", sleeve 13", total length 42" $175
