1960s Pink Oscar de la Renta Museum Piece Gown Guest Editor Anita Clarke! Pretty flat bows sits daintily

The cut is kept refined and simple to off set the showiness of the front bodice and the overall result is richness and formality

The dress is fully lined in a light cotton through the top only

1960s Pink Oscar de la Renta Museum Piece Gown Guest Editor Anita Clarke! Pretty flat bows sits daintilyThe twin of this stunning silk print maxi dress by Oscar de la Renta is held in the Goldstein Museum of Design (the last two photos are their collection archive photos) and they have this dated as being from the 1960 1969 period.
