1970s Goldworm Black Knit Backless Dress w Silver Metallic Straps & Elastic Waist designer-oscar-de-la-renta A wide metallic gold panel

A wide metallic gold panel runs down the upper part of each arm and acts as a touch of support to the fullness that runs from the shoulder to the elbow

The cut is graceful yet forward and the unexpected angles and protrusions feel like art and lightness

It presents as excellent condition but please review the notes below

Unlined and just slips on to wear

An interesting side note - this was pulled by a major fashion magazine for a shoot with a prominent photographer - I will release that info for the buyer
