1960s Frederick of Hollywood Sarong Dress designer-rudi-gernreich Cut in a classic shift

Cut in a classic shift with lots of great details to instantly identify it as a Courreges

There is the slightest bit of change in texture to the velvet from the pile pressing in opposite directions but its consistent and does not detract

The gold thread also gives it a slightly exotic feel as well as extra texture and visual interest

Early Gucci pieces are hard to find and this particular top is a real treasure

Its is very art nouveau in feel - organic rhythms and patterns ans a maters eye for color combination

1960s Frederick of Hollywood Sarong Dress designer-rudi-gernreich Cut in a classic shiftThis is a dress suited for a little bombshell of a girl and it will give any girl who wears it instant curves. These little fitted Hawaiian wiggle dresses were, and are, the dress of choice for sex symbols of the era. The print is a pretty wash of flowers on a blue backdrop and the fabric has a soft washed feel to it which I love. Pinks, purples and greens cover the surface of the cotton for a pretty and feminine effect. I love the faux wrap sarong
