It is a steal

If this was a designer piece I would not be surprised - it is very well made and has those high end kind of details that point towards a well made piece

Fully lined in a bias cut satin finish rayon

There is one spot of thinning to the fabric under the ruffle in the front left side

The arms are cut deep and low and the front neckline has a cowl detailing with a swatch of bright pink silk set just inside the cowl so you get a flash of pink and it also serves to keep you covered as the dotted portion plunges quite low

1960s Donald Brooks Crepe Jersey Dress designer-hanae-mori It is a stealA simple and chic Donald Brooks dress that has subtle but interesting details. The fabric is a black poly crepe so is very easy to wear, care for and travel with. It has a slight textured feel to it with gives it a nice visual interest to break the starkness of the black. The bodice is cut with no shoulder seams and the sleeves come out form the waist giving it a rounded, almost sculptural feel. I love the top stitched, slightly puffed effect banding
