Late 1960s Malcolm Starr Butterfly Embroidered Collar Pale Pink Silk Shift Dress & Jacket Set designer-giorgio-sant-angelo If there is a dress

If there is a dress more instantly recognizable and famous then the Valentino dragon dress I am not sure what dress that might be

There is elastic that runs through the waist band of the pants for an easy fit

It is photographed here as it naturally falls with no extra crinolines added

The skirt has an additional layer of an attached tulle underskirt with dressmakers paper in the upper hip area only

A classic and iconic piece that is perfect for traveling as they are wash and wear and travel exceedingly well

Late 1960s Malcolm Starr Butterfly Embroidered Collar Pale Pink Silk Shift Dress & Jacket Set designer-giorgio-sant-angelo If there is a dressThis beautiful dress and jacket set by Malcolm Starr is a pretty choice for spring. It was designed by Elinor Simmons, who was a young designer that Malcolm brought in to the company to design a higher end line for him in 1965. She eventually left in 1972 which giving us a window within to date this set. Everything about this dress suggest the late 1960s to me. Both the dress & jacket have been made out of a heavier silk finished in the palest pink.
