Dated 1960 Sophie Gimbel Attr Saks 5th Ave Soutache & Silk Dress designer-norman-norell It plunges to the waistThis 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. Most of the custom pieces like this one, had extraordinary little details and were extremely well made. This dress does not have a Sophie designated tag but it does have its custom order tag which also conveniently dates it exactly for us: 9 30 60. It is almost certainly a Sophie design and
