1970s Roberta de Camerino Red Maxi Dress designer-biba This also allows the sleeves

This also allows the sleeves to be full and poofed The front buttons and the contrast between the top pattern and the solid colored skirt is both slimming and pretty

Recent designers like Stella McCartney and Alexander Wang have made plays n this silhouette but I think this one strikes that perfect balance

The coat is also unlined with beautifully finished inside seams and buttons at the front

Front slant pockets allow for a cool girl slouch and the top portion is cut wider and fuller with a slimmer hip

This is of course what he was known for his cleverly screened dresses gave the appearance of chic dinner suits. He did them on poly jerseys like this one this fabric was cutting edge at the time and held colour magnificently. It has enough weight to hold the shape as he desired but to still drape and move beautifully on the wearer. It is virtually wrinkle free and easy to travel with. I love the design this
