1960s Bell Sleeve Marie France Couture designer-alfred-bosand The body of the dress

The body of the dress is a fabric that has some stretch so it forms to fit

The matching fabric sash is attached

A really special piece that is shockingly wearable despite the fact that it is well over 100 years old

I love the coppery pink thread mixed with silvers that is woven into the soft green silk back drop

The color is a deep deep navy - so deep it is almost black

I have always had a love for these hostess gowns they make me think of the grand dames of fashion from the sixties its the kind of thing American Royalty like Jackie O would have worn or some fabulous movie starlet hen she wanted to look grown up and glam. The Sleeves are truly wonderful huge bell sleeves add drama and interest. The print is a myriad of tangerines, oranges
