1960s Nat Kaplan Silk Brocade Midi Dress w Elaborate Crystal Detailing designer-fred-perlberg Very finely woven and light

Very finely woven and light but with a crispness to it that helps keep the shape

Personally

Perhaps the very occasional broken metal thread but I am being pretty picky

Bust: approx to 22" flat across from side seam to side seam

The body of the caftan is cut very full and open with very wide sleeves that comes out from the sides

1960s Nat Kaplan Silk Brocade Midi Dress w Elaborate Crystal Detailing designer-fred-perlberg Very finely woven and lightNat Kaplan was a dress manufacturer that opened in 1935 and produced well made mid range garments for about 50 years. They tended to use great fabrics and the pieces were finely tailored. Fit was paramount and they did not skimp on details to give their clients amazing value for their money. This dress is beautiful and and very feminine feeling. The bodice is fitted with little cap sleeves. The waist is set high and is detailed with a pretty flat bow
