1970s Red Jersey Jean Muir Dress designer-sonia-rykiel The sleeves slightly puff once

The sleeves slightly puff once the cuffs are down up and it features his classic extra gathers at each shoulder for a slight take on a Victorian feel

This allows the skirt to fall in a lean column when the wearer is standing still but to flare out dramatically at the slightest movement

The skirt widens from there with inset kick pleat panels set on either side of the hip to give it a true sixties feeling A-line shape

I love that it is actually semi-transparent from the sleeves right to the front panel on the bodice so that just the front is fully covered
