Chic 1970's dress from Don Luis! He was known as a high end designer from Spain and sold in the highest end stores. The ad from 1974 reads "Hand Painted Water Colors. Like whirling rivers of oil-on-water gathering swirls of color as you catch every eye...an exciting collection of multicolor, one of a kind evening wear". This is done in light as air chiffon with deep v neckline, fitted waist and sheer sleeves. Comes with long wide sash that can be used as a belt or hair scarf. Long full skirt. Fully lined (except for sleeves!) in rayon. Back zipper. Made in Spain. These retailed for $175 ($1150 in todays money)
