1960s Ossie Clark Black Moss Crepe designer-claude-montana early hand made piece from

early hand made piece from Nina Ricci that is strikingly beautiful and a testament to the hand work that was being produced in this time period

there are no flaws or holes

in fact until you move it appears to be a maxi dress

I love the how the back buttons all the way to the waist and that the skirt is a full to the ground maxi

It has stunning embroidery work on each hip - a full bouquet of roses are stitched under a semi-transparent early nylon and then colored batting was placed underneath to create a puffed feel

1960s Ossie Clark Black Moss Crepe designer-claude-montana early hand made piece fromAn Ossie Clark dress is always a fantastic find and you cannot go wrong with a basic black in his most classic of dress shapes! It has his signature over sized dog ear collar and a row of fabric covered buttons that are set to show just a hint of skin even when fully buttoned. The sleeves are fantastically full and billow out until they are cinched in at the buttoned tight, skinny fit cuffs. The Moss crepe is cut on the bias so the drape is perfect.
