1960s Fantasy Tweed Couture Maxi Dress with Off-the-Shoulder Detail Vintage_Pisanti underwired cups for extra bustThis elegant, fantasy tweed dress was couture made in the 1960s. Fantasy tweed is a multi colour tweed woven to a highly distinct pattern from clashing fibres of different fabrics. In the case of this stunning gown, the tweed has a background of vibrant gold metallic thread with fluffy angora wool in chalk pink and mint green stitched across its surface. This results in a highly tactile handle to the cloth and a fascinating level of detail up close.
