I love this because besides being a fabulous dress, it was liking discovering something new. Bonnie is of course best known for her leather designers under the Sills label from 53-77 and then for the collections she did for Coach from 62-74. However she also worked for a ton of smaller firms and did small collections here and there but never did I know that she also designed for Dorian. So that makes this extra special! You really see another side of her in this dress too! Her leather pieces and work for Coach are so utilitarian while this shows her softer side. Made of a printed green silk chiffon its a beautiful piece. The cut is simple with a fitted bodice and long sleeves. The skirt is slightly full and flows to the ground in a floaty dream. It's only true excess is that fabulous ruffle around the shoulders! Wonderful! Excellent condition.
Fully lined in a green silky rayon. Closes with a back painted metal zipper and has an attached tie at the waist so you can cinch in if needed.
