Authentic

Vintage Museum Quality Jean Muir Black with Metallic Silver Leather trim Halter Dress

Size- US 10/UK 14.

Sold at Henri Bendels in New York

Circa 1970

Truly exquisite this rare, museum quality Jean Muir is both very rare and very beautiful.

-Made from a deep chocolate almost black, soft buttery leather that is beautifully cut.

-It is a rare example of the work that Jean Muir was doing in suede and leathers and still feels relevant and fresh today.

-The cut is very sexy with a halter type neckline that scoops in the front and back and is cut to leave the shoulders bare.

-Rick rack cut edging trim of a silver metallic snakeskin print leather that is top stitched into place and serves as edging at the arms, hem and on the partially attached tie belt.

-The dress closes down the back with a series of buttons and she chose to use her signature flowers as a finish but a rhinestone encrusted version! All rhinestones in tact.

-There is also a leather tie with Muir signature flowers in silver.

-The showstopper is the wide tie at the waist in matching leather with silver metallic trim

-I wrapped it and tied it at the front, but you could easily tie it at the back if you prefer the front kept in a more simple form.

-The skirt flares out to a slight A-line and has a scooped finish on each side seam.

-Unlined and buttons down the back.

-Hidden pockets.

-Made in England
