Vintage 1950s Abe Schrader Autumn Brown Gold Orange Floral Silk Cocktail Dress

A stunning example of the beautiful details found in dresses designed by Abe Schrader.

Charcoal brown background with oversized fall floral acorn print in shades of orange, gold & russet. Wide ruched waist-band with falling sash trimmed in russet satin. 24" back center metal zipper.
