The long and lean silhouette was in full swing but you still see the use of extravagant draping and that gorgeous bare shoulder silhouette that is presented beautifully in this dress

There were no buttons for these present - you add your own - so for styling I left them long and open

It has an amazing amount of fabric used to make it

fitted black dress is an amazing find and with its shiny contrasting black buttons running down the front and big over-sized pockets feels shockingly modern in that minimalist kind of way

1950s I. Magnin Pale Blue Sweater Cardigan w Silk Ribbon and Hand Done Embroidery Work designer-gucci The long and lean silhouetteThis wonderful little cardigan is a true find. It is in fantastic shape and in fact looks to have been worn very little if at all. It has the most beautiful detailing and in person it is far better then how it photoed. The colour is gorgeous. It is a soft pale ice blue that is not quite captured in the photos. It simply slips on the wear with no closures. The edges are all detailed and finished with a wide and stunning panel of embroidered silk
