The original fabric sash is still with the dress

The bodice has a curved halter top that wraps around the bodice and up and around the neck

Dated 1960 Sophie Gimbel Attr Saks 5th Ave Soutache & Silk Dress designer-norman-norell These where meant to floatThis wonderful little black dress is from the time period that Sophie Gimbel was designing the Saks in house ready to wear line and her pieces were very expensive.
