A silk taffeta in a deep glossy black is used - this fabric choice allows for a bit of structure and for the drape that the designer was after able to be achieved

It is a good wearable size and well made - parts of the hem are weighted

Note that it does do up at the back but is too small to be able to do this on my mannequin

1970s Arnold Scaasi Silk and Net Bead Dress designer-gucci A silk taffeta in aA gorgeous mainline Arnold Scaasi cocktail dress that is both refined and elegant and sexy at the same time! The body of the dress is a fine black silk that skim the body and is a fabulous shorter length. The bodice scoops down with a built in bead covered lace inset to suggest the hint of lingerie peeking out. The sleeves are amazing black lace is covered with beads and sequins so your arms look jeweled! I love the wide neck and sexiness of this
