Stunning 70s JOSEFA caftan dress! The earth tone colors,brown with black and tan woven embroidered panels. The fabric is a heavier cotton weave made to outlast time but there’s no stretch, you will need to give some wiggle room. The construction is exquisite. Beautiful woven dramatic balloon cuffed sleeves and silhouette of a traditional 60s prairie dress, almost bell shaped.The brown ribbon application really highlights the silhouette. Back zipper closure.
Good vintage condition. The colors have faded, consistet with age. This is a rare gem 💎!
