I love the three little pickets that sit atop the fabric and how each has an embroidered design on it

1970s Trompe l'oeil Roberta de Camerino Dress designer-malcolm-starr very couture and very specialSuperb Trompe l'oell Roberta de Camerino. This is of course what he was known for his cleverly screened dresses gave the appearance of elaborate 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
