1970s Valentino Strapless Linen Dress designer-ossie-clark I love the wide A-line

I love the wide A-line cut skirt that flows to the ground and is actually quite wide as it nears the floor despite the fact that it skims over the hips below the waistline

Each shoulder pad can be removed and attaches by Velcro

I love the huge side pockets with their square back drops and curved top stitched openings

The combination of the classic 1960s orange and yellows with the starkness of the black is fantastic

1970s Valentino Strapless Linen Dress designer-ossie-clark I love the wide A-lineA stunning late 1970s Valentino dress made of his signature linen fabric that has been custom screened with huge blooms! Every detail about this dress is fabulous! The strapless bodice is very fitted and the inner bodice has been pin tucked all the way around. Onto this is that floral fabric and is covers the back and then ties at the front making a very pretty detail! The skirt has this same spirit of layering the inner skirt is the solid black linen
