This truly iconic 1970's Quorum dress, rendered in a black matelasse raised rayon with an embroidered polkadot pattern accented by a contrasting matching red rayon, is the perfect piece to add to your collectable and classic vintage wardrobe.
The V shaped neckline, is framed by a red rayon border, which contours the décolletage in a sweetheart design and joins the neckline in a halter neck design, from which the back straps are looped along the nape, accenting the deep V shaped backline, which is in turn edged with red rayon.
The fitted cut of the bodice sets off the panelled cut, which drapes along the silhouette in a bias cut, accenting the waistline. Finished with a full circle cut hemline, adding to the drape and effortless movement of this piece when worn.
