It is basically a tube of fabric

The fabric is a mix of silk chiffon that house extended ovals of real metallic thread gold lame worked into the fabric

The cut of the dress is very simple and represents the time perfectly - a high neck tops a skinny sleeved shift that flares out in a saucy way as it reaches the hem - done deliberately so all the focus is on the legs

1950s Rich Metallic Silk Brocade Coat designer-jean-paul-gaultier tucked or gathered bodices springingThe fabric on this coat is amazing! A luxe combination of gold in different tones and textures, has dramatic accents of a rich coral mixed in. Little pops of silver threads and glossy black finish. The cut is very structural and the weight of the fabric keeps it that way. It is not so heavy that it is unwieldy but it of a weight that when on the shape you see is held perfectly. Each sleeve is cut just above the wrist and they are on the wider side.
