Hidden pickets on each hip and one along the seam of the interior

The waist is cut somewhat loose but it has its original belt that nips in the waist and gives the illusion of the tiniest possible waist

This little silk shift dress was designed by Rudi Gernreich and is very representative of the 60s in its cut

1960s Silk Chiffon Oscar de la Renta Maxi Dress designer-todd-oldham Bust: 16-19" flat across theWhat a beautiful, early 1960s silk maxi dress from Oscar De La Renta! It is shockingly light I know it looks like it should not be with that intricate pattern making it appear like it is a brocade or something along that line, but the fabric is actually a beautiful silk chiffon. The pattern is fantastic intricate little designs are set in black frames that cover the entire dress. The upper bodice is cut slightly full and the waist just an inch higher
