Vintage 1960s 1970s Black Maxi Dress | Silver Braid Trim Mod Evening Hostess Dress Kaftan
Description
A striking original vintage black maxi dress dating from around the late 1960s to early 1970s, beautifully finished with intricate metallic silver braid.
Cut in a clean, elegant A-line silhouette, the dress features a round neckline with a long narrow front opening, both outlined in decorative silver metallic trim.
The three-quarter sleeves flare gently towards the cuff and are finished with matching bands of elaborate silver braid, creating a wonderfully dramatic period detail.
Visible shaping through the body gives the dress a more structured silhouette than a traditional kaftan, while the stark combination of black and silver gives it a fantastic late-1960s/early-1970s eveningwear feel.
Elegant but slightly theatrical, it sits beautifully between Mod, space-age and glamorous hostess dressing.
