1960s Unlabeled Couture Heavy Metallic Gold & Silver Thread Caftan designer-geoffrey-beene 25" + chain handle (3"This extraordinary caftan dress has no label but the work that has gone into creating it is absolutely at the couture level. It is truly a wonderful find and a study in the art of creating fine textiles. The dress is a good heavy weight, not so heavy as to be uncomfortable to wear, but the kind of heavy that gives you an instant clue that this is a high end garment. The weight is because it is entirely made from real metal thread in gold and silver.
