Prettiest Early 1970s Oscar de la Renta Floral Printed Halter Dress w Crossed Strap Open Back designer-luisa-beccaria Bodice: 16" from top ofThe Oscar de La Renta boutique label first appeared in 1967 which makes this one from one of the very earliest collection for this line. His boutique label is important as is marked the first ready to wear line for a Seventh Avenue designer to be launched.
