Vintage Oscar De La Renta Swirl Hawaiian Kaftan Dress Floral Mumu Dress L Rare

Rare Vintage Oscar Da La Renta for Swirl Hawaiian Kaftan Dress Floral Oscar de La Renta was bought onto the swirl label in 1977 to do a line of robes, nightgowns and pretty little hostess type dresses like this one. The label had hired Bill Tice in 1975 as the designer but then in 1977 made a deal with first Geoffrey Beene and then de la Renta to do a line for them as well. Tice sued the company shortly after bringing in Oscar, citing that Swirl was favouring Oscar over him. He left the company saying his contract has been violated and Oscar withdrew shortly after that as well. Which makes this dress a very interesting little piece of fashion history from a very specific and short period of time. Besides its fascinating history, it is also a gorgeous little dress in its own right. The dress is made out of an easy to wear, timeless piece with so much life left in this dress Mumu Dress Floral Pink Green Turquoise Purple Print Size Large • Women's Hawaiian Dress • Side Pockets!!! • Kaftan Floral Dress • Size Large • Quilted Neckline and Sleeve Detail • Cotton Poly mix Super amazing dress, no stains, rips or flaws, kinda sad to part with it, I have other vintage Hawaiian dresses in my shop, take a look.
