Thea based her designs on the fabrics and how it moved and draped

This jumper certainly epitomizes exactly that as it hugs the hips and cinches in the waist

The "tail" is a dramatic cascade of long beaded fringe that goes almost to the hem

I love the graphic feel of this little black and cream shift dress from Geoffrey Beene

Excellent unworn condition

1960s Silk Mr Blackwell Floral Dress designer-malcolm-starr Thea based her designs onSeriously beautiful little day dress that is bang on in every possible way. The cut is simple and chic it skims and hugs the body but in the most refined of ways. The silk is superb very high quality silk twill. Onto that is screened a stunning array of flowers and the colors literally feel as if they are about to jump off the dress they are still so crisp and bright. I love the detail on the shoulder too its a modified bow but is worked into the seam
