1970s Pisanti Chocolate Brown Dress with Wide Lapel and Lame Bodice

About the Item

This stylish 1970s Pisanti chocolate brown crepe dress with metallic check design has a host of stylish features. The warm, deep brown fabric of the skirt is complemented wonderfully by the metallic ribbed knitwear on the bodice and sleeves. The silhouette is a classic, deeply flattering shape. The wide, shoulder-spanning lapel falls into a prominent button stand at the centre front of the dress that continues past the waist into the full, mid-calf length skirt. Neat, closed pleats run over the navel from the waistline and open up just past the hip at the front of the garment to create movement in the skirt, which is lined and reinforced at the hem. The wide crepe cuffs and reverse shoulder panel are attractive details that consolidate the piece beautifully and the small chrome buttons along the button stand pick-out the metallic detail in the bodice. This piece is in excellent condition with no notable flaws and would best suit US size 6 or small 8, UK size 10 - 12, although happily as the bodice is slightly elasticated, there is a little extra give in the bust and waistband.

  • 1960s Gerald McCann Black Satin and Floral Lace Cutout Dress
    Located in London, GB
    This mid to late 1960s cocktail or party dress is composed of three tiers and a lace ruffle panelling at the bottom of the dress. Panels are made of a transparent black floral lace and black satin. The satin fabric appears to have a grain, and is lined in black polyester. The solid panels are cleverly placed to cover the bust and crotch area. The collar is a scoop neck and two bust darts can be found on the front. This dress is in excellent vintage condition save for a couple of very small pulls which are unnoticeable when the dress is being worn. Labeled a UK size 12, this runs smaller than modern sizing. Our model is a UK 6-8 or US 2-4 and this fits her well. Gerald McCann...
