1960s Silk Chiffon Oscar de la Renta Maxi Dress designer-pauline-trigere A pretty ruffled finish runsWhat a beautiful, early 1960s silk maxi dress from Oscar De La Renta! It is shockingly light I know it looks like it should not be with that intricate pattern making it appear like it is a brocade or something along that line, but the fabric is actually a beautiful silk chiffon. The pattern is fantastic intricate little designs are set in black frames that cover the entire dress. The upper bodice is cut slightly full and the waist just an inch higher
