Sumptuous cocktail dress by Marldena Gowns dating from the late 50s or early 60s in coffee and gold brocade which shimmers as it catches the light. The dress has a cute boat neckline and tiny cap sleeves and features an attractive layer over the basic sheath shape which graduates from the back left hem across the back and round the right side of the dress to form a rosette swirl on the left hip. Fully lined in mocha satin with a side zip fastening. The dress is in very good vintage condition apart from a few loose threads here and there and minor repairs to the lining. It may benefit from a dry clean to freshen up as it has been in long term storage.
