1980s Gorgeous Oscar de La Renta Gold Green “Dragon Scale” Brocade Dress MRS Couture

Astounding maximalist evening dress by Oscar de la Renta! The maxi length dress has long sleeves, a columnar A-line skirt with fitted waist, giving the dress a silhouette similar to the cheongsam. The dress is primarily composed of brilliant golden green brocade fabric delicately defined with reptile – like scales. The skirt and “under” bodice of the dress are composed of the scale fabric, and are masterfully complimented by a black floral lace bolero jacket – like bodice with scalloped edges, a high V – neckline, and two elegant black silk frog buttons with a floral ribbon base. Black ribbon at the hem echoes he details on the top.
