There is so much fabric that I feel these do not detract but I have priced it lower as a result

An extraordinary silk fifties dress in every way

1960s Jersey Emma Domb Halter Dress designer-balmain There is so much fabricA great basic black maxi dress with an interesting and flattering halter bodice. Made of a fluid poly jersey it move wonderfully. The skirt is quite full there are yards of fabric in that skirt. It falls quite straight when the wearer stand still but when she moves it really shows off the volume that is there! The top is a draped halter with the fabric set on an angle drawing the eye up and in for length. The straps are caught up just below the neck
