1960s vintage hippie patchwork afghan kaftan maxi dress / Lux hippie / caftan / 70s marrakech

Amazing true 1960s vintage Afghan patchwork hippie dress!

A true 60s hippie piece. Handmade expertly...these dresses are harder and harder to come by these days...

This lovely number is made up of chocolate brown, cherry red and forrest green fabric with dainty ditsy florals all over however, cut into wide panels...as well as worked into patchwork at the sleeves...the front bib is made up of rich sturdy embellishment with zig zags and cross stitching featuring purple, lilac and orange cottons stitches...

Single button & loop at each shoulder for access (no zipper) and rich embroidery at the cuffs too! The cuffs seem to have been made up of a antique fabric and feature more of the same rich embellishment..gathering around the waist, front and back for extra style. 

This piece is entirely handmade and has been carefully stored away since the late 60s...a true treasure!
