The Shrimpton Couture Archives

And iconic piece of Haute Couture. the dress is a steel gray colour and is gathered all along one side. The skirt can be puffed out to create the shape that you see. It's from the fall 1981 Couture show. You can see that on the runway it had an added bow and extra layer and the Couture client for this dress simplify that, and I think this actually works even better.
