1960s Malcolm Starr Red Metallic Maxi Dress designer-hardy-amies Made of a pretty silk

Made of a pretty silk chiffon that gives it a lighter and airier feel then the silk jerseys he used later

Silk voile is one of my favorite fabrics - it hold color exceptionally well and it is very light but still has a touch of structure to it so when it is used in layers like this you get a wonderful sense of volume without bulk or heaviness

The zipper can open if not completely zipped but it is original and is fine is zipped to the top and the pull folded down so I have left it in its original condition

It is a very simple dress that flows from the shoulder and gently widens as it nears the hem

1960s Malcolm Starr Red Metallic Maxi Dress designer-hardy-amies Made of a pretty silkA gorgeous Malcolm Starr in a pretty red and gold silk chiffon. The print is a graphic red on the white chiffon and then running through this are circles of gold thread in various sizes. I love the dramatic tie at the neck it is actually an extension of the collar and you can tie it loose and long or wrap it to create a more scarf like effect. Each sleeve poufs above the cuffed wrists.. The waist cinches in and the belt is original to the dress. There
