What you’ll love about this Alfred Shaheen maxi dress is the serene Sky Blue ground paired with a refined metallic gold Asian fan and floral print — an elegant example of Shaheen’s 1960s resortwear at its most sculptural and sophisticated. The dramatic back bow and cut-out bracelet sleeves give it unmistakable mid-century presence.

Mint, new-with-tags vintage condition. Original paper tag remains attached. No wear, fading, staining, or alterations observed. Exceptionally well preserved.
Fit Snapshot:
1960s A-line maxi silhouette with fitted bodice and graceful length. Bracelet-length sleeves with cut-out detail and a dramatic back bow that falls nearly to the hem.
