1970s Gottex Plunging Striped Wrap Caftan Dress designer-joy-stevens The dress is fully lined

The dress is fully lined in a hot pink silk and closes with a back painted metal zipper

Its a sleek sheath os a nylon jersey with a hint of sheen - this was cutting edge fabric in the late 80s and early 90s - Tom Ford also used a version in some of his early Gucci collections

The waist is cinched in and the skirt flares to the ground in that perfect way that only Ossie did

The fabric is the true standout - the knit has a distinctive 3D waffle pattern that really gives the dress visual interest - it has enough weight to help hold the shape and structure of the dress but is comfortable to wear

1970s Gottex Plunging Striped Wrap Caftan Dress designer-joy-stevens The dress is fully linedI love this colorful and fabulous dress. It is made by Gottex and is that perfect mix of sexy with a laid back bohemian feel. The colors are a gorgeous mix that will work for day to evening and in any setting. I love how the design has a touch of a muted gold that defines all the outer edges of it. It is cut full through the bodice with a plunging to the waist neckline that wraps over itself and then closes with two hidden snaps at the front waist.
