1960s Gold & Brocade Oscar de la Renta Dress designer-louis-feraud Little faux pearls are dispersedA fabulous metallic thread maxi dress with an underlying "peacock" pattern and gold thread woven through the fabric! Oscar then took that fabric and made it pop even more with the addition of a flat braided gold metal thread ribbon that runs down the entire front of the dress, across the waist and has a flat bow to finish. The cording also has little knots of gold and colored rhinestones set on it for added glitter. The skirt cascades to the floor
