Some pieces are backed by leather and there is embroidery in the mix.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe collar is spectacular. It is just under three inches wide and to create a bold band curving around your neck. At the front it runs down and over the silk to just about the waist giving the illusion of wearing a jewelled bib collar. At the back it splits into two straps that expand outward on an angle to meet the silk.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI love how this leaves most of the upper back bare and exposed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe beads on the collar have a very organic feel and they mix what looks like wood and perhaps ceramic beads applied onto leather backings in some spots. Big chunky rhinestones and clear beads have been added, and there are bits of embroidery. It is really fantastic and you can clearly see hand work throughout.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnder that the dress is cut on a slight curve at the neckline and then comes in at the waist. The shaping through the waist is all done by long vertical seams at the sides with no horizontal line to break the eye or the beaded pattern at the front.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrom there it curves back out over the hips with a slightly exaggerated shape and then it expands out again as it nears the hem.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtra fabric has been added at the back and around the sides of the lower skirt to give you extra fullness there and a bit of movement as you move. You can get an idea of how it moves with the reference video added.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI love how dramatic the red version is. It is a fantastic example of his work during this time period.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe dress is fully lined in a matching red silk and closes with a hidden set back zipper that is hidden along and offset side seam. The collar hooks to close at the top of the shoulder on one side.. The embellishments have been added by hand. I see some slight scuffing into the top layer of the fabric around the back hem. Please see the photos attached. It is minor but it is mentioned for accuracy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTagged a modern ODLR 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent condition\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eBust: to 18\" flat across from side seam to side seam\u003cbr\u003eWaist: to 12.75\" flat across from side seam to side seam\u003cbr\u003eHips: to 18\" flat across from side seam to side seam\u003cbr\u003eTotal length: 62\" from neck to hem\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eModern Sizing Equivalent: XS-SML\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eItem# DD5743\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAll items are thoroughly checked over before shipping.
