That skirt is just amazing with a beautiful customs design by Zandra running over its surface in gold

All hand finished and exquisitely constructed

Fully lined with a green silky chiffon

I love the styling of this one - it has fabulous balloon sleeves with Biba's trademark high shoulder and skinny upper arm

1969 Oscar de la Renta Gypsy Metallic Dress Set designer-joy-stevens That skirt is just amazingI have included a photo of Charlene Dash taken for Vogue 1969 in a similar outfit where Oscar added a vest over a gown to create a fabulous Gypsy feel dress. It is shockingly light I know it looks like it should not be with the gold at first glance it appears to be a brocade, but the fabric is actually a light textured silk organza fabric. Onto this, gold thread has been worked in to highlight the vibrant print that is custom screened onto the gown.
