Gorgeous medium-weight navy blue and silver-gray color block dupioni silk dress.

Dupioni silk is a lustrous and crisp silk fabric with pronounced irregular ribs formed by slubbed yarns.

The front of the bodice features wide alternating navy blue and silver-gray color block stripes as pictured. There is also a front navy blue peplum.

The back of the bodice and skirt are solid silver-gray silk.

Fitted and darted bodice and wiggle skirt with a 6" center back walking slit.

The entire dress is lined with soft lightweight satin (probably acetate).

Does up the center back with a long metal zipper.

DESIGNER LABEL: There are no labels and this appears to be the work of a skilled seamstress or tailor.

CONDITION: Excellent. There is no discoloration, fading, snags, picks, holes, stains, rips, or other issues. The only thing is a very slight storage odor which should come out when dry cleaned.

Gently worn and very well cared for.
