I also highly appreciate the models styling and runway 'attitude' as it does fully capture Osse's viewpoint.
- The dress is made out of his signature moss crepe in a beautiful clear red that is flattering on most skin tones. It is very sexy and instantly recognizable as being an Ossie Clark piece.
- The front is cut in a low plunge that meets the waist. At the waist of the plunge is a little gap so you have a bit of a squared off feeling rather than the typical V. Because of the way it is cut and the angle the front is cut on, it is surprisingly secure once on the body and stays in place very well without exposing you despite that low plunge. A curved shoulder yolk wrapped over the shoulder and extends into the back. The fabric at the front between the seam under the bust seam and those shoulder yokes are gathered vertically for added pretty detail.
- The sleeves are phenomenal. Each is a cut very wide and are gathered around the shoulder yolk, giving the illusion that they extend directly out from the front and back. Their width gives them an almost caped feel as they flow over the upper arm.
- The bust skims over you and then comes along a upward curving scene that ends at the base of the plunge. This talks and insert that gives you some definition around the waist and then cursed down the centre front of the skirt. It is all shaped to give you an hourglass feel with no harsh lines to break the eye and line of the dress.
- The skirt curves back out and over the hips where it widens out to be quite by the time it reaches the hem. There are yards of beautiful, moss crepe in its construction. An extra panel of fabric is set along the front horizontal seam just below the hip. This adds even more fabric and gives the dress beautiful movement when you move.
- When you stand still it falls in a beautiful column of moss crepe but when you move you really get a sense of the fullness and the amount of fabric in a skirt
-
The dress is unlined and made out of a red moss crepe. It closes with a low back zipper with a keyhole slit between the seam of the shoulder yolk and where the zipper starts. Someone has added two snaps to hold the keyhole closed. I have left them, but they could easily be removed, or left undone, if you wanted it to be more open.
