1970s Adolfo One Shoulder Top & Skirt designer-alexander-mcqueen There are small darkened areas

There are small darkened areas here and there on the lace detailing on the sleeves that do not deter on any way

I love the neckline - the way it is set allows you to tie the neck a few different ways and have the shoulders sit on or off

The coat is labeled Ogden gowns which leads me to believe that this was once part of a set - I can only wistfully imagine the matching gown that went with it

Wide sleeves are cuffed and all the edges are finished with a double stitch to create a wide flat edge

1970s Adolfo One Shoulder Top & Skirt designer-alexander-mcqueen There are small darkened areasA really spectacular set by Adolfo. This is a once in a lifetime, glorious piece constructed of black silk chiffon that has an amazing large crossed pattern worked through the silk in a fluid, black lame look threading. It is almost weightless and yet constructed so that it drapes on the body perfectly. The skirt is to the floor and has yards and yards of fabric in it. Two layers of chiffon are under the top layer s it gives it a very floating effect
