1970s Victor Costa Black Full Skirted Dotted Net & Velvet Bow Dress designer-rudi-gernreich The skirting below the waistThis is a very eye catching dress by Victor Costa. The dress combines a soft black velvet with a dotted net fabric and I love these two fabrics work together. It has a princess length skirt that is quite full. This is created by placing the net fabric over an inner layer of black rayon taffeta. The volume primarily comes from the netting and how that is been inserted in and around the waist seam. In real life it feels even fuller then how it photoed.
