Prettiest 1960s Arnold Scaasi Black Strapless Dotted Net Dress w Flower Appliques designer-john-anthony The top is that typical

The top is that typical late 60s hostess gown silhouette - covered but with the sleeves left semi sheer and cuffed so they billow slightly and with a bit of a plunge at the neck that you can make deeper by not doing up the hidden hook & eye closures

The middle tulle layer has hidden set snaps down one side but the inner silk layer and top layer have no closures

This is look 61 from that same show and true to the runway version

Each cuff closes with a button and a small hidden snap to keep the cuff set perfectly

Excellent condition Fully lined in blue with no front closures
