It is an earlier rendition of the Cuddly that was released the following year in 1972. We have sold a few of those and if you want to see more reference photos of that dress, since it is so similar, you can see one of the\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.shrimptoncouture.com\/products\/iconic-1972-ossie-clark-couture-cuddly-black-moss-crepe-open-back-wrap-dress-w-huge-sleeves?_pos=3\u0026amp;_sid=de3873ac8\u0026amp;_ss=r\"\u003e most recent listings here. \u003c\/a\u003eThe dresses are very similar and each is special in its own way. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo wear the dress you simply slip it on and wrap it at the waist where it ties into place. A second long tie ties at the back of the neck.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe dress is made out of his signature moss crepe in black.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe front is incredible. There is a small neat collar that wraps around the scooped neck line and then the dress is slit from below that collar to the waist.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOn either side of the slit there are a series of flat cut pleats that run from the collar to the waist. These are lovely detail on either side.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAt the back the wrapped cut creates a large open area that leaves most of your back bare and exposed. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis was scandalous at the time and it still feels very sexy. It is also instantly recognizable as being an Ossie Clark piece.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe sleeves are phenomenal. Each is a huge very full balloon bishop cut sleeve that are puffed and full above their cuffs. There is another series of flat pleats that detail each sleeve and wrap around the widest part of the sleeve just above the wrist.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe sleeves present as being extra long in the photos but the actual opening that you slip your hand through is more of a regular length and the rest of the sleeve hangs down and puffs out around the wrist fabulously once on an actual body.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrom there the skirt curves over your hips and then falls to the floor, widening out as it nears the hem. The dress is in its original length.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe wrap leaves a long overlap at the back towards one side of the skirt. It overlaps enough that you are covered.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eThe dress is unlined and made out of a black moss crepe. \u003c\/span\u003eAs in many Ossie earlier pieces, one of each set of ties is a little shorter then the other. I see very minor bits of lighter areas on the moss crepe here and there. This is a natural patina on this type of fabric as in ages. The wrap style should allow it to fit a variety of sizes and frames. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTagged a vintage Ossie Clark UK12\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSleeves: approx 29\" to actual wrist and they are approximately 16\"around the upper arm\u003cbr\u003eBust: adjustable 17-20\" flat across from side seam to side seam\u003cbr\u003eWaist: adjustable 13-15\" flat across from side seam to side seam\u003cbr\u003eHips: open\u003cbr\u003eBodice: 15\" from neck to top of band at the waist\u003cbr\u003eTotal length: 60\" from neck to hem\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eModern Sizing Equivalent: SML-MED\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eItem# DD5801\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAll items are thoroughly checked over before shipping.
