The fabric on this Mr Blackwell Custom dress is just fabulously insane. It is a heavy weight silk satin that has been hand screened and painted with that wild design. His custom line was made to order so basically a demi-couture line and most, if not all pieces with that label are one of a kind and were fitted to the client. His clients for that portion of his business were starlets and socialites and I only wish I knew the girl that had worn this one! A vivid pink has a wild design of multiple colors and the wonderful design covering every inch of the fabric. The cut is simple and fully covers the body to balance out that sheer impact of color. The neck is high and the sleeves are long. A curved empire waist sits under the bodice an the skirt flows to the floor in a A-line column. The interior is the same shocking pink. It is wonderful! Excellent condition.
Fully lined in a vivid pink silk and closes with a back, painted metal zipper. Each sleeve has a hidden set, painted metal zipper to close.
