Origami Dress 1961 Chestnut

Sale price$595.00

With a deep plunge in the front and an open back, the Origami is a special occasion dress for any time you need to make an entrance. We looked at a lot of 70s dresses to get the right combination of insouciance and glamor.

The Details:
• Fully lined skirt for beautiful drape and coverage
• Very comfortable back closure — surprisingly easy to wear
• Vintage 70s-inspired silhouette
• Perfect for special occasions and resort wear
