1970s Valentino Strapless Linen Dress designer-ossie-clark This sane eyelet detail circles

This sane eyelet detail circles each cuff and is in a double layer around the hem

I love the wide A-line cut skirt that flows to the ground and is actually quite wide as it nears the floor despite the fact that it skims over the hips below the waistline

I love the soft palette of color mixed with the glint of the sequins

The belt is attached to the dress at each side and stamped Norman Norell on the back

I love the huge side pockets with their square back drops and curved top stitched openings

Every detail about this dress is fabulous! The strapless bodice is very fitted and the inner bodice has been pin tucked all the way around. Onto this is that floral fabric and is covers the back and then ties at the front making a very pretty detail! The skirt has this same spirit of layering the inner skirt is the solid black linen
