1960s Black Courreges Paris Shift Dress designer-bill-tice The inner legs are half

The inner legs are half shorts (at the front) and half skirt (the back)

To combine lace and silk like this is very labour intensive so a piece like this would have been very high quality

Tagged a 34 - Meant to be worn over-sized so truly a SML

Fully lined in a white silk crepe through the bodice and two layers of silk chiffon through the skirt

It is just incredible and very well made with hand finishes

1960s Black Courreges Paris Shift Dress designer-bill-tice The inner legs are halfThis is a stunning Courreges shift dress and one of his classic designs. The fabric is jet black and done in his signature fine wool with just a touch of texture running through it. Little cap sleeves and square neckline with button detail. The skirt is pure Courreges with the seaming and pockets set as was his signature. I love the flared cut of the skirt! Impeccably constructed as one would expect. This is instantly recognizable, classic Courreges.
