1960s Black Courreges Paris Shift Dress designer-bill-tice To combine lace and silk

To combine lace and silk like this is very labour intensive so a piece like this would have been very high quality

Each seam is done with her signature top stitching in a matching red thread

A pretty gold cord is worked around the edge and through the band to complement the design and little sequins dance across the band in swirls

Bust: 17-18" flat across from side seam to side seam

Fully lined in a white silk crepe through the bodice and two layers of silk chiffon through the skirt

1960s Black Courreges Paris Shift Dress designer-bill-tice To combine lace and silkThis is a stunning Courreges shift dress and one of his classic designs. The fabric is jet black and done in his signature fine wool with just a touch of texture running through it. Little cap sleeves and square neckline with button detail. The skirt is pure Courreges with the seaming and pockets set as was his signature. I love the flared cut of the skirt! Impeccably constructed as one would expect. This is instantly recognizable, classic Courreges.
