Beautiful striped silk day dress from the 1970s.

Lightweight silk dress with a wavy striped print in blue, bronze, and brown accented with white as pictured.

The bodice features diagonal bust darts and is lightly gathered where it is sewn to the cased elastic waist.

Keyhole neckline fastens with one self-covered domed button and loop. Small Mandarin style collar.

Below the elbow, three quarter length sleeves with single self-covered button cuffs.

The skirt is laid with the striped fabric running vertically for contrast with the bodice and is lightly gathered at the waist.

Comes with its original double-layered self-fabric sash belt.

Pulls on over the head with no zipper.

The bodice is not lined. The skirt is lined with satin (probably acetate).
