Museum Held 1969 Ossie Clark Top w Celia Birtwell Candy Flower Print designer-vicky-tiel The jacket is cropped just

The jacket is cropped just above the waistline and feels so modern at this length

The body is entirely boas cut and the front a simple sheath that molds itself around the body underneath

almost Halston-esque

Fully lined in a black silky rayon that is in excellent condition
