Oh SWOOOON! This dress is too gorgeous! If you are a fan or collector of Koos pieces this is truly a gem. It's the perfect bohemian sundress for summer and even has a matching shawl with a huge, awesome ruffled edge to go with it. The colors are rich and the quilting technique on the chest area is amazing with the addition of silk ribbons and top stitching. There are even pockets sewn into the skirt. You can scour the net and won't fond another example of Koos Van Den Akker's work as stunning as this.

These two pieces are in excellent condition with no flaws to note.

From wikipedia....


Koos van den Akker is known for his painterly delight in mixing colors, patterns, and textures in unusual, often one of a kind, garments. Always delighting clients who want something a bit different to wear his styles have not changed much, simple shapes being more amenable to rich surface manipulations. Having learned the basics of good fit and cut as an apprentice with the house of Christian Dior, Van Den Akker was able to proceed confidently with the fabric collages that have become his signature. Although his Koos garments recall the art-to-wear movement, they remain free of the sometimes heavy-handed messages inherent in the artifacts which seem more suitable for gallery walls—these masterpieces are meant to be worn and appreciated for their beauty.
