1970s Ted Lapidus Blue Silk Dot Dress designer-mr-blackwell Hips at bottom of gathers:Graphic and bold bright blue silk and white dot silk dress from Ted Lapidus. I really love this print and the fabric is a high grade silk so it feels like heaven on. It is cut with a nod to the flapper dress and actually has a dropped waist and the torso is cut tubular with no definition. The skirt is attached low on the hip and has a flirty bit of fullness. I love that the sleeves have some volume to them! We have tied the original belt at the hip
