1970s Zandra Rhodes Signature Pleat Set

What a dramatic set! Originally meant as a lingerie this has become one of Zandra's signature pieces and I have seen girls wear this out as a full on evening ensemble. It is two separate pieces made of a fine synthetic silk that is hand washable and comprised of an in inner dress and a floor length, dramatic pleated pieces that just screams Zandra Rhodes I have seen this done in a pattern, in solid black and we have had it in a peachy pink but this is the first mint green one I have seen. Zandra is renowned for her use of design and pattern and this piece really allows her absolute genius for design shine through on its own. The cut of the outer jacket is astounding - tight knife pleats on bias cut fabric that are sculpted to form that incredible back and draped shoulder. An extravagant ruffle runs down the front and it ties just under that ruffle so the line is not broken. The under dress is a sheath of pale silk with a ruffle piece at the top and bottom. Very versatile set. Excellent condition

Both pieces are unlined. The dress slips over the head, the jacket ties at the front. There is a slight loosening to the pleats on the over piece but this happens to every one of these that I have seen so is not considered a flaw
