c 1970 Oscar de la Renta Black Silk Taffeta Backless Halter Neck Dress w Extensive Ruffle Detailing designer-hermes Elizabeth Taylor and Jaqueline Kennedy

Elizabeth Taylor and Jaqueline Kennedy were clients and her brand was highly sought after

The skirt is fully lined in a taupe silk and closes with a side zipper and flat hook & eye at the waist

Sleeves: 28" but come up when cuffs are buttoned

but you could really get creative in the styling and leave then trailing or wrapped in a different way

This is a great example of that and can be worn as a micro mini (if you dare) or a tunic

Under the creative direction of Oscar de la Renta The dress is made from a beautiful black silk taffeta that holds the shape and volume that this dress has perfectly. The fabric choice also keeps the dress fairly light in weight while giving the dress some structure and shape. Two shaped triangles cover the front of the bodice
