This dress is exactly that and more

I especially love the drama of the print on the back and the lace up corset effect at the lower back

This is a very simply cut but very beautifully draped and sexy Lanvin couture gown

Total length: 19" from neck to bottom hem

I love the multi color leaf print that is scattered top to bottom of the gown - it gives it a light airy feel while not taking away form the refinement and classic feel of the piece

1960s Dramatic Black Silk Taffeta Pauline Trigere Gown designer-norman-hartnell This dress is exactly thatThis is an over the top, unbelievable silk taffeta gown in a black silk taffeta by the great Pauline Trigere. The dress is both simple and at the same time elaborate and dramatic. Simple in that has been done in one solid color and the lines are so very classic but there the simplicity stops. The skirt cascades to the floor and the yards and yards that make it are create volume and drama. The bodice is fitted with a wide low and straight across neck.
