1960s Malcolm Starr Red Metallic Maxi Dress designer-hardy-amies It is a very simple

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

Skirt: 27" from bottom of the waist band to hem

The skirt is set high under the bust line and has soft pleats worked into the knit there

Waist: 14" flat across the interior dress from side seam to side seam

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

1960s Malcolm Starr Red Metallic Maxi Dress designer-hardy-amies It is a very simpleA 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
