Gold Jacquard Tunic Maxi Dress (1960-70s)
Floor length tunic dress with wide sleeves and a keyhole opening in the back tied with two black velvet ribbons. There is a single side split on the right side. Fabric is a heavy weight jacquard lamé, almost like tapestry; black woven with gleaming metallic gold in a royal pattern of long rolling leaves. It’s a visibly textured fabric that holds its shape, especially in the sleeves, highlighting the wearer’s shoulders. Thicker fabric but a loose fit means it’s seasonally versatile; let your crotch breath without freezing to death. Wear it like a kaftan or cinch it with a belt for an a-line or empire waist.

Shoulder, across: 22”
Chest/waist, across: 18”
Bottom hem, across: 22”
Sleeve, length: 7”
Side split, length: 15”
Total length: 52”
CONDITION: excellent
NEED TO KNOW: Unlined; tie ribbons are curled; vintage from the 1960-70s and likely hand sewn (as most clothes were then). Terry Stack turtles belt is not included/has been sold.
