The arms are cut deep and low and the front neckline has a cowl detailing with a swatch of bright pink silk set just inside the cowl so you get a flash of pink and it also serves to keep you covered as the dotted portion plunges quite low

almost nautical feel with the cream and navy at the bodice to a riot of colors and texture at the hem

Killer seventies jacket or top that is made of a black silk chiffon that has been entirely beaded with a wonderful whirling pattern front and back

There is one spot of thinning to the fabric under the ruffle in the front left side

1960s Donald Brooks Crepe Jersey Dress designer-hanae-mori Fully lined in a biasA simple and chic Donald Brooks dress that has subtle but interesting details. The fabric is a black poly crepe so is very easy to wear, care for and travel with. It has a slight textured feel to it with gives it a nice visual interest to break the starkness of the black. The bodice is cut with no shoulder seams and the sleeves come out form the waist giving it a rounded, almost sculptural feel. I love the top stitched, slightly puffed effect banding
