70s Afghan Plisse Goddess Dress w/ Silk Embroidery

• An incredible Afghan Plissé Dress Circa 1970s
• These special dresses were made in the late 1960s - 1970s out of Afghani burkas. Silk embroidered designs cover the front yoke and back neckline.
• Deep, dark green
• Fabric composition, no label but I believe the body and sleeves (pleated sections) are rayon and the yoke is cotton with silk embroidery
• Huge sweeping dress with winged sleeves
• Some very minor flaws consistent with age, some minor holes in dress which are obscured by the volume, some minor wear at the very bottom near hem. Overall presents beautifully
• Fabulous event/wedding guest dress
