It is a great stand alone piece and I immediately grabbed it for the shop as well. These are most likely the early work of Elinor Simmons before her name went on the labels. She designed for the Malcolm Starr label from the early 1960s to 1972.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis is a phenomenal full length silk satin evening or opera coat. It is exquisite in its cut and design with the simplicity and stark lines allowing that beautiful silk satin to shine through. The color is a statement in and of itself ans it is that same brilliant pink that the dress was done in. The interior is lined in a heavy matching pink silk and this monochromatic approach is stunning as it does not break the long line of pure color that is created. The shoulders are structured but without any inner padding so still has a soft feel to them. The sleeves are cut to just above the wrists as was the fashion during this time period. It is cut to skim and float over the body and then sweeps fully to the floor in a beautiful column of pink silk. The back has a belted detailing to break the very long line. It buttons at the front with silk covered buttons in a double row at the bust. Each button hole is hand set and properly finished. The collar is neat and it is embellished with a dense application of gold toned tube beads mixed with seed beads and prong set rhinestones. This same detailing is what covers the bodice of the dress (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.shrimptoncouture.com\/products\/1960s-malcolm-starr-vibrant-pink-silk-satin-dress-w-beaded-bodice?_pos=2\u0026amp;_sid=ab05d2f21\u0026amp;_ss=r\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ewhich you can see by clicking here\u003c\/a\u003e).

Proper finished buttonholes and hand finishes. Pockets along the seam of each hip. A slight bit of grubbiness here and there along the edge of the hem. Note that color is a bit deeper then how it photoed and even better in person. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSleeves: 22\"\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eShoulders: 15.5\"\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBust: 20\" flat across from side seam to side seam\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWaist: 19\" flat across from side seam to side seam\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHips: open\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBodice: 61\" from neck to hem\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModern Sizing Equivalent: SML-MED\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eItem# C547\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eReference Photo: Cherie, Owner of Shrimpton Couture.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis garment has been professionally cleaned, pressed and is odor free.
