1960s Donald Brooks Crepe Jersey Dress designer-hanae-mori Killer seventies jacket or top

Killer seventies jacket or top that is made of a black silk chiffon that has been entirely beaded with a wonderful whirling pattern front and back

There is one spot of thinning to the fabric under the ruffle in the front left side

almost nautical feel with the cream and navy at the bodice to a riot of colors and texture at the hem

Bust: to 24" flat across from side seam to side seam

Note that some pictures show the top with and without a collar - that is because it is actually snaps on and off - all hidden along the inner edge

1960s Donald Brooks Crepe Jersey Dress designer-hanae-mori Killer seventies jacket or topA simple and chic Donald Brooks dress that has subtle but interesting details. The fabric is a black poly crepe so is very easy to wear, care for and travel with. It has a slight textured feel to it with gives it a nice visual interest to break the starkness of the black. The bodice is cut with no shoulder seams and the sleeves come out form the waist giving it a rounded, almost sculptural feel. I love the top stitched, slightly puffed effect banding
