1950s Draped Silk Suzy Perette Dress designer-roberto-cavalli Hips: approx to 20" flat

Hips: approx to 20" flat across from side seam to side seam

The dramatic color combined with the bias cut

I love the strong use of a contrasting border that defines and anchors the cut of the dress and the silk is a fantastic silk twill - Hermes scarf like in weight and feel

An adorable original day dress from the 1960s made of a bright cheerful screened cotton voile

1950s Draped Silk Suzy Perette Dress designer-roberto-cavalli Hips: approx to 20" flatMade of a stunning and unusual shade of orange printed silk I would best call it a deep tangerine with a customs design screened onto it. The front is gathered in great, elaborate pleating and gathering that is caught up by the extended fabric straps that go over each shoulder. This cleverly draws the eye into the waist and gives the illusion of an even greater nipped in waist and hourglass silhouette. I love how the straps glide over each shoulder
