.. La Mendola: 1960s Dragon Wing - Silk Chiffon Overlay

.. This is piece is unlabeled, but it came with a labeled La Mendola dress with the same print, so rest assured, it is La Mendola. I separated the two pieces as they are sublime on their own, and a little over the top for today's fashions when they are together.

.. The piece is dreamy silk chiffon. Its two separate panels attached to a long tie. All the free edges are hand rolled, the hem is all hand sewn. It is a remarkable couture piece. The print is incredible... wings of blue and green feathers.

.. As you can see from the photos, this is a very versatile piece. It was designed to be worn on the waist over the matching dress, but I love it worn as a cape. It is equally stunning worn over one shoulder in a classic goddess style, open on both sides for a very sexy look. Worn over both shoulders like a classic tunic, it can be belted with the matching sequin belt (included with the piece) and it becomes an adorable dress.

condition: very good.

One Size Fits All
The belt has hooks set at 35" but they could be moved to make it fit your waist.

28" end to end not counting the ends of the ties.

43" length
