1960s Silk Mr Blackwell Floral Dress designer-malcolm-starr Bodice: approx 12" from neck

Bodice: approx 12" from neck to empire waist seam

Thea based her designs on the fabrics and how it moved and draped

Excellent unworn condition

A gathered band at the waist clips into place at the back and cinches the waistline

I love the graphic feel of this little black and cream shift dress from Geoffrey Beene

1960s Silk Mr Blackwell Floral Dress designer-malcolm-starr Bodice: approx 12" from neckSeriously beautiful little day dress that is bang on in every possible way. The cut is simple and chic it skims and hugs the body but in the most refined of ways. The silk is superb very high quality silk twill. Onto that is screened a stunning array of flowers and the colors literally feel as if they are about to jump off the dress they are still so crisp and bright. I love the detail on the shoulder too its a modified bow but is worked into the seam
