1970s Plunge Front Backless Halter Gathered Sides Jersey Dress designer-maurice contrasting edges

contrasting edges

I love how the back has yards of extra fabric that is all gathered along the lower edge of that scooped back giving it wonderful fullness

The bodice is amazing with an interior cup over which those peaked panels wing out dramatically to the side

The dress itself is a simple fitted sheath with a nod to the early 60s in cut that the print originated from

The set is a combination of dramatic white and black

1970s Plunge Front Backless Halter Gathered Sides Jersey Dress designer-maurice contrasting edgesThis dress is amazing. It is insanely sexy with a halter style front that plunges to just above the waist and has a back that is left completely open and bare. It is made of a liquid jersey in a deep taupe brown that feels amazing on. That fabric choice also drives the design and the draping on the sides. I love how the skirt is cut so that the sides drape in an ascending curve and give the hips an exaggerated volume. It gives the dress extra drama
