1960s Ossie Clark Black Moss Crepe designer-bill-blass The original tie belt cinchesAn Ossie Clark dress is always a fantastic find and you cannot go wrong with a basic black in his most classic of dress shapes! It has his signature over sized dog ear collar and a row of fabric covered buttons that are set to show just a hint of skin even when fully buttoned. The sleeves are fantastically full and billow out until they are cinched in at the buttoned tight, skinny fit cuffs. The Moss crepe is cut on the bias so the drape is perfect.
