1960s Donald Brooks Rhinestone Scattered Jersey Dress designer-emanuel-ungaro Fully lined in a cream

Fully lined in a cream silk satin

wearing it on or off shoulder

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

It is almost indescribable as to the cut and silhouette as it is tucked here with a seam

It is extraordinary and amazingly beautiful

1960s Donald Brooks Rhinestone Scattered Jersey Dress designer-emanuel-ungaro Fully lined in a creamI 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.
