Mme. Gres presented this daring bare midriff gown for Spring 1966 in a wonderful and wild printed silk. Those triangular cut-outs are strategically placed to show off the curve at your waistline. Love the dress, but the addition of the yellow drape is an unfortunate choice, in my opinion. I think the dress would stand perfectly on it's own.

Need a little something to knock 'em dead on New Year's Eve? How about this silk satin evening gown with matching hooded cloak by Mme. Gres from 1957? In my dreams!

I was doing some research about a couture garment recently and was struck by the popularity of stripes for the spring of 1953. Mme. Grés seemed especially fond of striped silk for that season. Which is your favorite?
