An amazing piece of couture and fashion history

It may have been full length at one time but if shortened it was ling ago so is hard to tell

This is done from top to toe making the gown a good weight when you lift it but once on it perfectly balances and feels comfortable

Shoulders: 24" from seam to seam

most notably silk chiffon

Museum Held F/W 1971 Giorgio di Sant’Angelo Medieval Dress designer-andre-courreges An amazing piece of coutureThis is the second time I have had this dress and I love it even more the second time around. It is just a spectacular example of his work. The same dress is part of the permanent collection at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and that one was displayed in the 2013 exhibit "Hippie Chic. A similar gown also resides in The Met collection with a shorter skirt length and different pattern. The cut is otherwise the same. The Fall Winter 1971 72 collection
