About MeFull-length brown and silver lurex knit hostess gown with high neck, long sleeves, fitted waist and full skirt. This dress is the typical style for hostess gowns of this period with the high neck and long sleeves. It was a style considered most flattering for the hostesses of the older generation. The lurex knit adds a modern twist making the outfit fashionable for the time.
