Prettiest 1960s Arnold Scaasi Black Strapless Dotted Net Dress w Flower Appliques designer-versace Fully lined in a white

Fully lined in a white silk satin through the bust and white silk chiffon through the skirt

Over this is a panel of the same fabric that drapes from the shoulder and loops down and across the front and back of the dress along the side that the shoulder is left bare on

It gently curves in at the waist and then there is a seam that sits at the top of the hips where the skirt meets the bodice

This combination creates a stunning visual effect adds depth and texture to the fabric

One can imagine this  as originally residing in the closet of girls like Talitha Getty or Veruschka - and it would have been a piece that they would have thrown on with jeweled sandals and a pendant
