This is an authentic 70s dress I found in a thrift shop and had opened down the front in order to make it into a duster! polyester but oh so cool. this is the real deal! gold buttons down the front (one missing see photo) with buttons also on the cuffs. most likely this was hand sewn -- check the photos. there is a tag but I doubt the brand still makes clothes! can be washed on cold, delicate. hang to dry. stored in a smoke free home.
