1960s Valentino Couture Mini Dress

This early Valentino creation dates to the 1960s. It is a stunning work of art in mod orange and cream. The fabric is rich, sumptuous cashmere (may be a blend, but it feels like pure cashmere).. . it is absolutely dreamy. All the cream is backed with orange, and vice versa, so this is a very thick and warm garment. Its two separate pieces, either one can be worn without the other, but together they are amazing. ..
mini, mid thigh hem makes this a perfect example of 1960s style. The little pocket detail is just for show, the little buttons at the wrist are orange enamel and gold tone, with little Vs in the center. The cream vest dress has deep pockets high on the bodice. It is closed on the right side, and is opened with buttons (white enamel with gold and big Vs) on the shoulder and down the side.
Everything about this ensemble is couture. This is a very rare, and extremely wonderful item.
