Title/Keyword help - 60\'s English rich hippie dress

This Robert Dorland dress really <i>does</i> say 'rich hippie' to me, but there must be something fresher to say about it! Any ideas?

It's a silky polyester, the black midriff bit is matte and slightly sheer and the back of the skirt has a deep inverted pleat (very full).

Thanks to the label resource (and to Senti [Premierludwig] who wrote the bio) I know that Dorland was

Very much the Kings Road Hippie look with a sophisticated eastern influence (even the detail that separates the bodice area from the rest of the dress makes it almost like a Choli).

Very glad there's some Robert Dorland appearing now!

love, moons and starrs,

Carolyn, remember those persian influenced prints Lin had while back. I just thought of them and this reminds me a little of it
