Truly electric neon colour kaftan! Imagine yourself swanning about like Princess Margaret in this one! It's actually American, by Butterfield 8 - the clothing label not the novel or film starring Elizabeth Taylor - but this has drama in equal measure. It's more neon / day-glo than the pictures can capture, and glows under UV light. 

Sides are stitched creating a batwing flutter effect. Tie at the neckline. Otherwise it's all about the print! 

Condition is good overall. There are some pulls in the fabric - 2 lines down the back near the right side seam, but no holes or ladders. Condition reflected in price. 

Fabric is delicate - it's synthetic slinky stuff - "Antron" - a type of nylon introduced by Dupont in 1960, and updated to be Antron III in 1970. This one is the earlier version, and the piece is likely later 1960s. 

Measures 53 inches long 
Width from side seam to side seam at top 30 inches
