1960s Donald Brooks Rhinestone Scattered Jersey Dress designer-emanuel-ungaro It is a cotton mesh

It is a cotton mesh fabric that has tiny little squares of silver hammered thought he weave of the cotton to form the pattern

Made of hand dyed burnt orange ostrich feathers that are set onto the base fabric so that they almost twist - its almost like they create a bias cut fabric out of the feathers - this causes it to roll open a bit when one so you get this long lean line and it always seems to sit perfectly in place and not create bulk like some feather pieces can

Bust: will stretch from 16-19" comfortably when measured from side seam to side seam

Large gold metal buttons close the jacket and four smaller versions finish each cuff

1960s Donald Brooks Rhinestone Scattered Jersey Dress designer-emanuel-ungaro It is a cotton meshI love finding Donald Brooks pieces they have a certain ease about them partly due to his fabric choices and also in part because of his cutting and draping techniques. This dress is a gorgeous graphic black and white printed jersey that has been finished with a scattering of rhinestones across its surface. This makes for the perfect combination of full out decadence that contrasts with the ease of the fabric a delicious contrast when put together.
