This is a wonderful 1960s jumpsuit that is made from a pretty metallic brocade that has a paisley and floral pattern woven through it. It combines a deep coral gold base that has pops of green here and there with a gold thread that is woven directly into the fabric. The gold metallic thread is woven over the fabric and this gives the fabric a textured slightly raised effect. The gold covers the jumpsuit from shoulder to hem so that the entire piece has that amazing metallic feel to it. No matter what angle you see it from the metallic thread catches the light perfectly. The neckline is cut onto a deep V at the front that plunges to just above the higher set embellished waist. A wide band of primarily gold lurex braiding accents the neckline and circles the waist. Mixed in with the gold are a scattering of coloured crystals that are all set by hand. The bottom part of the jumpsuit is amazing. The legs are incredibly wide and full and each legs finished in an elastic so that it is drawn in around the ankle. This makes them pouf out around the legs and it is just fabulous to see. At first glance it appears to actually be a skirt but as soon as you move you realize that it is really very wide cut pant legs. The movement and fullness this creates is just fantastic. It is even better in person as the gold has more of a presence then how it photoed. Excellent condition
