1960s Sequin and Mink Jacket & Dress designer-balmain Huge "sleeves" are cut intoThis looks like it should be very heavy but it is surprisingly light. This is because of the clever use of fabric. It is sequined almost head to toe however the fabric behind it is actually a metallic thread lame with eyelash fringe portions to it. This keeps it very light weight and also supple while still allowing it to appear structured. The dress has a black velvet bodice that is simply cut and has a high waistline. The skirt is a simple A line.
