Insanely sexy and absolutely fabulous Ossie Clark dress! This is everything you ant in an Ossie and more! Cut to mimic a thirties swing dress mixed with the overt sexuality of the seventies, it is all cut on the bias so it has perfect drape and movement once on. The dropped skirt is gathered along the front and then gently flares out so it swings around you when you move. The panel above this skims over your hips and waist and is cut on the bias so it follows your curves, The bodice is amazing - it is a draped and gathered with a deep, deep plunge at the front and under each arm. It manages to keep you covered and show lots of skin at the same time.
