Fantastic c.1983 Thierry Mugler Black Raw Silk Vertical Panel Dress w Car Wash Hem & Silk Chiffon designer-isabelle-allard Fully lined through the bodyWe believe the dress to be from the Spring of 1983 based on the reference photo that we found with a similar design especially given the cut of the lower skirt of that dress. It was made under the creative direction of Thierry Mugler The fabric of the dress is a black raw silk which helps to hold the design and intended shape. The construction of the dress is quite brilliant. Long vertical panels of the fabric have been pieced together side by side
