A layer of silk net and silk chiffon sit between that and the exterior layer of net

Where it is gathered

It cinches in at the waist and is finished absolutely perfectly inside and out

1970s John Anthony Demi-Couture Black Silk Jersey Dress w Hand Beaded Birds designer-gene-shelly I think it would makeJohn Anthony opened his label in 1971 and during the 1970s he became known for making pieces that were sleek & sexy but still felt sophisticated. His business was all done on a made to order basis. That means the majority of pieces you will find are a one off, or if there are similar pieces, very few of each piece exist. This personal attention to each dress is clearly seen in the workmanship of his pieces. His work is a personal favourite of mine and
