Gorgeous Spring 1977 Givenchy Runway Ad Campaign Strapless Purple Silk Chiffon Dress z-archive-jacquelinederibes A bide coloured mesh sits

A bide coloured mesh sits behind the plunge at the front so you get the illusion of a deep neckline but it is very secure and safe

Buckles adorn the top - even straight across the bust-line

Waist-hip: to 21" flat across from side seam to side seam

The jacket ties at the waist and there is a combination of with hook & eye and hidden snaps to secure the tie

It has no closures and the front border comes up in a graceful curve and eventually meets the base of the soft rounded collar

The line was initially sold in the United States exclusively through Bergdorf Goodman and was eventually made available at other retailers. The line was high end and extremely well made.
