Gorgeous handpainted silk designer dress from the mid to late 70s. Very space-age retro-futurism. Silk is a breathable, soft black fabric with a colorful geometric shape made of blue, purple, red, and orange vertical stripes. The dress features a midi length with a side slit on the left side, an elastic waist with tie belt and belt loops, long sleeves, and a boat neckline that buttons at the neck. Sleeves are gathered which makes for a sleek mutton style sleeve. The print does not carry onto the back.
