The cut of the dress is very simple and represents the time perfectly - a high neck tops a skinny sleeved shift that flares out in a saucy way as it reaches the hem - done deliberately so all the focus is on the legs

Hips: to 19" flat across from side seam to side seam

Bust: to 22î flat across from side seam to side seam

1950s Rich Metallic Silk Brocade Coat designer-jean-paul-gaultier It is basically a tubeThe fabric on this coat is amazing! A luxe combination of gold in different tones and textures, has dramatic accents of a rich coral mixed in. Little pops of silver threads and glossy black finish. The cut is very structural and the weight of the fabric keeps it that way. It is not so heavy that it is unwieldy but it of a weight that when on the shape you see is held perfectly. Each sleeve is cut just above the wrist and they are on the wider side.
