This is an incredible Museum quality vintage gown by designer Oscar de la Renta, from his very early years of his design career. Like a work of art, this gown has a truly dizzying effect to the senses. Bold swaths of color appear to be painted on the dress, and rhinestones and paillettes are sprinkled on throughout.
The dress has an attached cape on top which has silk covered snaps to keep it closed in the back. You could also wear this dress without the cape if you wanted.
