He made extraordinary pieces of couture and this dress is one of them and an earlier sixties example of his work

Hips: approx 19" flat across the back from side seam to side seam

Lined through the body in a second layer of fine black silk chiffon and closes with a back hand set

far lighter then you would think at first glance because the base is a silk chiffon that allows it stunning drape and airiness

That combined with the gold metallic threads that run top tp bottom make it an instant stand out

1960s Backless Dot Donald Brooks Maxi designer-gucci He made extraordinary pieces ofThis early Donald Brooks piece is absolutely amazing! The cut, the design, that fabulous ruffle that is constructed to sit out from the back and around the neck. I just sigh with happiness every time I look at this piece! Constructed from a good weight cotton, the base of the dress is jet black with white dots. It's base design is actually quite simple the sleeveless bodice is cut to skim the body, it nips in at the waist and the full length skirt
