I also found the texture of the fabric to be very interesting...it is definitely towel-like but not like any toweling I encountered before. I'm also a sucker for feminine flutter sleeves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI've never had anything from this designer so when I got home I did some research and discovered so much. First off, the word Rikma is Hebrew for \"embroidery\" or \"tapestry\". \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eIn 1962, Rozi Ben-Josef, the daughter of Shlomo Hanane, a tailor and fabric maker, founded her own company under the Rikma label. She utilized \"Molidor,\" which is a textured cotton towel-like fabric created using a mixed weaving and knitting technique. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI couldn't find record of this dress being sold anywhere on the internet but I found a photo of the exact same dress and it's part of the The Israeli Museum's permanent collection in Jerusalem.  You can see a photo \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/museum.imj.org.il\/artcenter\/newsite\/en\/gallery\/?artist=Ben-Joseph,%20Rojy\u0026amp;list=\" title=\"Rikma Dress at the Israeli Museum in Jerusalem\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SwaneeGRACE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48113049108710,"sku":null,"price":698.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0723\/6177\/1238\/files\/1970srikmadress-7.jpg?v=1787099734","url":"https:\/\/shopswaneegrace.com\/products\/1970s-rivka-dress","provider":"SwaneeGRACE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
