SHOULDERS - 15

There is a burgundy rope tie across the neckline which creates a drawstring effect on the sleeves as the arm holes are open down the waistline

I absolutely love design and like to think that it was inspired by the Christian Dior dress that Elizabeth Taylor wore to the 1961 Oscars where she won for her performance as a call girl in Butterfield 8

1960s Jane Frye Silk Green Dress with 3D Floral Applique Vintage_Pisanti The empire line bodice isDesigned by Jane Frye, this pretty sleeveless dress is almost certainly an early 1960s piece. It is crafted from soft, lightly textured silk or a silk blend in three complementary hues of green and adorned with sculptural appliqu of roses, buds, leaves and vines. A two toned belt encircles the waist and is clipped onto a large bow at the front with an adjustable hook and eye clasp. The skirt is softly pleated at the waist and falls to the mid calf.
