Exceptional 1960s Josefa Mexico Pink Pintuck & Ribbon Cotton Caftan Dress designer-bill-tice The beads are glossy black

The beads are glossy black glass tube beads that are all set by hand

the more slanted script without any accent over the "e" give it a date that lands it between the mid-sixties and into the early 70s

I see one tiny area of missing beads on the bodice and some loose beads here and there

I simple tie of jersey loops through the front key hole and ties around the neck

Exceptional 1960s Josefa Mexico Pink Pintuck & Ribbon Cotton Caftan Dress designer-bill-tice The beads are glossy blackI love Josefa caftans and have covered the history of the label a couple of times in my instagram. They are like owning a piece of wearable art. Every single one of them was entirely hand made and detailed. They were made in Mexico in the late sixties to early seventies and were the epitome of Bohemian chic in their day. They are easy to wear pieces that can go from the beach, to exploring far off markets, to being worn as an evening piece depending
