feathered long dress Sherri Hill Tiered Feather Skirt Gold Lace Appliqued High Neck

Colourful 1940s dress by Norman Hartnell Although certain design details were forbidden as they were a waste of valuable raw materials, wartime "austerity" fashions were not drab, as this purple, green and mauve dress (which cost 7 clothing coupons), designed by Norman Hartnell, testifies

Together with the wholly on-trend lace-up cropped cardigan and baguette bag, this look is a 10/10

This dressing is delicious on kale, romaine, and arugula

The model is 5'7, wears a size medium top and size 27 pants

Best suited to those who love clean lines and a streamlined, fluid fit

It is still influencing fashion today and models and actresses channel her style on red carpets and runways proving that a good black dress is timeless.
