1950s Ribbon Detail Fitted Cocktail Dress designer-jean-paul-gaultier I love the caped backHand pleated ribbon adorns the bodice is swirls on this lovely little black dress. The bodice is cut high and both the front and back are scooped. A curved flat pleated piece of fabric defines the waist and creates shape. The skirt follows the curve fo the hip and there is a lovely panel of fabric that sits over the back zipper and trails to just past the back hem. Its a lovely detail that makes the dress feel more finished and gives it a party feel.
