You could wear it on the hips if you are smaller or have the elastic inside the waistband shortened to make it smaller if needed

I love that the design would have been screened specifically for this dress prior to construction as the borders of the print follow the design exactly

Each cuff has two silk covered buttons and loops

It closes with a back hand-set zipper and the ribbons overlap at the back and close with hook & eye

1950s Unlabelled Red & Black Aisian Silk 'Feather' Dress designer-vetements Reference Photos: Yves Saint LaurentThis wonderful 1950s dress is made from a very fine, high end Asian silk. Woven through the silk is a beautiful design of feathers that have been done in a red thread. Also woven directly into the silk are medallions that are scattered over the surface and around the feather design. Along the inner seams the fabric has the markings of the fabric maker which is in interesting detail and depicts its higher end origins. The red is much better in person
