50's Black Day Dress with Tight Pleats and Pocket Detailing by Maurice Rentner Balenciaga 1980’s pink nylon hatReserved and stately, this designer frock has a wonderful gothic feel. She'd look perfect with a cameo necklace! The most interesting point of construction to this piece is the skirt, which is quite unique. The front portion of the skirt appears to be attached at the waistband in an almost apron like way, but is in fact attached at the front center all the way down and folds over. And, flaps on both sides of the skirt lift up to reveal hidden pockets!
