mollie parnis
1960s Tangerine Chiffon Mollie Parnis
I absolutely love the dramatic color of this piece and that is is screened onto a chiffon so it has a translucent popsicle color feel to it. It is a dramatic and bright combination of a tangerine orange mixed with a deep fuchsia pink with pops of white! I adore the details on this dress - the entire bodice and skirt are detailed with tiny flat knife pleats. The bodice has then from collar to waist and the skirt begins with them at the waistline and then they are allowed to soften and open to give the skirt volume and air fullness. The sleeves are left unlined and each ends with a dramatic ruffle done in the same knife flat pleating treatment. A wide collar in the pleats adorns the neckline. The top layer of chiffon floats over the inner layer in the most beautiful of ways - it really goes it that wonderful light, romantic feel. A wide, long sash of the same fabric is still with the gown and I have shown it wrapped around the waist. The dress has a fantastic romantic, pretty and light feel, but is still regal and beautiful. Excellent condition.
