1940s Pattullo-Jo Copeland designer-givenchy Note the inside bust sits

Note the inside bust sits a bit high as some of these 1950s pieces do - you could remove the interior cup if necessary

The top is a soft cotton voile that has a hint of transparency - the use of different fabrics within the same family give it an extra bit of interest and depth

I love the mix of pink and white

I love the silk satin bow that finished the piece

1940s Pattullo-Jo Copeland designer-givenchy Note the inside bust sitsA fantastic and early Patullo Jo Copeland piece that is very well made and has a really unusual fabric as well. You can see the influence of the late 20s and 30s in the shape and cut still! The bodice is made of a fine black silk taffeta that has an unusual stripe of yarn worked directly into the fabric. It creates little rows with looped "balls" all along each and has a slight 3D effect too! Really wonderful to see in real life! The neckline is high
