Dramatic, formal, and beautifully crafted, this deep navy velvet kaftan-style dress is defined by its rich texture and meticulous metallic embroidery. Medium sized, the front features an ornate, symmetrical panel of gold and silver threadwork with scrolling flourishes and leaf motifs, finished with decorative edging that frames the neckline and continues into a striking, elongated centerpiece. The sleeves are detailed with coordinating embroidery at the cuffs, and the hem is finished with a matching embellished border that gives the silhouette a polished, ceremonial presence.
This piece reads as a true dress rather than a robe—designed to be worn as a complete statement garment for an evening event, cultural celebration, or special occasion. The velvet has a refined luster under light, while the metallic stitching provides depth and dimension that photographs beautifully. Measurements are shown in the photos; please use those images as the reference for best fit.
Condition: Pre-owned vintage/estate piece with light, expected wear from age and use; please review all photos for details.
