1930s Black Wide Sleeve 'Ribbon' Dress designer-valentino Bust: to 18" flat acrossThis dress is quite remarkable. It is entirely made of a weave of ribbon and what feels like a raffia. This gives it a complete bias cut effect and amazing texture. You can wear a nude slip under it and feel quite scandalous or get creative with color. These days I am sure there are girls that could get away with an amazing lingerie set under it only! The weave changes thickness and density to visually define the waist and give some structure around
