Documented Pierre Cardin Demi-Couture Hostess Dress and Skinny Pants - XS, 1970
About the Item
Singular and stunning, this unforgettable 2-piece ensemble is the embodiment of the jet set zeitgeist prevalent in the 1960s and early 70s. Consisting of a split-back maxi dress and coordinating cigarette pants, the outfit can be worn open either in the front or back for two different—but equally glamorous—looks. The riotous floral print and textured cotton only add to its charm. Documented and part of the permanent collection at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
Hostess ensemble consisting of sleeveless maxi dress and coordinating high-waist cigarette pant. Empire waist maxi dress features plunging V-back with decorative oversize bow at rear empire waist seam; split down the remainder of back and accentuated with bright orange trim around neckline, down back panels and around hem. Single heavyweight hook and eye closure and covered snap concealed beneath back bow. Coordinating cigarette pants feature front and rear hip darts and rear zipper closure with top hook and eye; interior hanging loops. Cigarette pants lined in silk; maxi dress lined at front bodice to empire waist in cotton.
