1970s John Anthony Couture Beaded Lace Strapless Dress designer-bob-mackie Approx a Chanel 42 but

Approx a Chanel 42 but there is is no longer a size tag

It is an easy fix

There are no real outstanding flaws to note otherwise

Both layers are completely bias but so it is very easy to wear and feels amazing on

The knit feels like a high grade wool and cashmere mix and it is even lined in a fine silk chiffon as well

1970s John Anthony Couture Beaded Lace Strapless Dress designer-bob-mackie Approx a Chanel 42 butJohn Anthony opened his label in 1971 and during the 1970s he produced some really outstanding pieces at a couture level, that were sleek, sexy and sophisticated. His business was all done on a made to order basis. That means the majority of pieces found are a one off, or if there are similar pieces, very few of each piece exist. This personal attention to each dress is clearly seen in the workmanship of his pieces and his work is a personal favorite.
