About the Item
Crack open a 1970s - era Vogue or Harper’s and you’ll surely see a fashion spread featuring garments by American designer Mollie Parnis. A pantsuit version of this ensemble appears in the March 1974 issue of Vogue, where the metallic heels and bouncy hair give you a real sense of its presence. Known for clever updates of classic silhouettes, this disco magic dress marries comfort with glam.
The knit base incorporates Lurex®, a yarn that has a glittery metallic layer fused into it. The dress is covered with hundreds of sequins that give a satisfying drape to the material, and an overall shimmer to the design. A great dress for a slim fit or ample curves, the sequins catch the light as they follow the body.
From the mock neck, a smooth, close fit around the shoulders moves down into a slight flutter sleeve that adds an extra touch of diva to this dazzling dress. It is slightly fitted through the waist and gently falls from the hip to an ankle-length hemline with controlled flounces. Although a simple silhouette, this vintage Mollie Parnis dress speaks volumes and is the perfect spotlight piece for a party or event.
