This 1970s velvet Damascene dress features machine embroidery inspired by the ghabani work traditionally associated with Damascus.
The dress is crafted from a higher quality mauve velvet than what was typically produced for the tourist market during this period.
Designed with a more fitted, modern silhouette, it includes two side slits, each measuring approximately 13”.
We love how heavily embroidered this piece is and the richness of its overall detailing. The buttons are finished with a high quality shimmering gold thread. A whimsical ode to the often under appreciated craftsmanship of Syrian costume.
Condition
In good vintage condition with minor wear. Missing buttons at the top of the neckline. Sold as is.
Measurements laid flat
Armpit to armpit 19”
Shoulder to hem 50”
Fit
Fill fit a size 2-4 for a relaxed fit.
✨ PLEASE NOTE ✨
