1970s Zandra Rhodes Pleated Peach Bed Jacket designer-oleg-cassini open cut workWhat a fantastic jacket form Zandra Rhodes. This would have originally been meant as a bed jacket from her lingerie line however, it is completely wearable as a light day or evening piece now. I have exaggerated the curve of the shoulders while taking the photos because I think that that rounded shape is just amazing! The fabric is perma pleated and it ties with pretty ties running down the front. Excellent condition Unlined and ties at the front.
