1970s Green & Gold Metallic Silk Adele Simpson Dress designer-joy-stevens precise knife pleats on eitherI love this floating confection of a dress made from the most amazing green and gold metallic thread shot silk chiffon! Really a stunning fabric that is as light as air and moves perfectly! The silk chiffon base has beautiful medallions of metallic thread worked into it. The sleeves are left unlined and each has an elastic at the wrist so you get a soft billow effect. I love the how it just slips over the head and the neckline is left soft and open
