A Nina Ricci Haute Couture Little Black Dress Circa 1960 at 1stDibs Nina Ricci Vintage 1960s 60s Couture Wool Silk Jacket + Skirt Suit Dress by Nina Ricci, 1960s : r costumeporn Nina Ricci Vintage 1960s 60s Couture Wool Silk Jacket + Skirt Suit. I love the classic cut of this suit with it's box jacket and flare skirted dress. The cut is just so classic and timeless it could be from a runway today. The dress is a simple shift that is cut to skim over your curves with the skirt flaring out as it nears the hem and a inverted pleat running down its center for extra volume and shape. It is refined and graceful and feels very female and regal. The silk is like a matte sharkskin silk and has a unique and wonderful texture with the fabric heavy enough to help keep that structural shape but not heavy enough so that it is in any way uncomfortable to wear. The jacket is classic box cut with a pretty tie front. It is simplicity mixed with a masterful seaming and cutting and extraordinary fabric. This is from the Mademoiselle line and is the modern day equivalent of a made to order piece in terms of quality. Excellent, appears unworn condition Both pieces are fully lined in a black silk. The jacket slips on and ties at the front. One part of that tie is attached to one side of the jacket so it stays perfectly in place. The dress closes with a back painted metal zipper and hook & eye.
