1970s Scott Barrie Multi Wrap Bodice Pink Silk Jersey Jumpsuit

About the Item

Scott Barrie was known for designing beautiful and sexy clothing. He was particularly adept in the use of silk chiffon and silk jersey, both notoriously difficult fabrics to work with. For this jumpsuit he uses a pink silk jersey and that color is fabulous. The fabric is slinky and sensual and it has the added advantage of wrapping and draping well. He used this to full advantage with the top that you can drape in several different ways from strapless to a caped shoulder to single shoulders on either side. The halter top twists and wraps around the strapless bodice and has long ties that you can wrap around the waist or tie in a variety of ways as I have done for the photos. Below that, the legs are cut wide and they are supermodel long. Barrie's models were known for dancing down the catwalk and his work often had wrapped ties like this jumpsuit does. The color is very flattering on a wide range of skin tones. Barrie was one of the great American designers and this is an exceptional piece from him. Excellent overall condition The pants are unlined and the wrapping of the long attached panels of fabric make the base of the bodice act as its own lining. It closes with a back zipper and has elastic running through the top of the bodice. There is the slightest scuffing to the fabric here and there and a couple of areas where the fabric has darkened slightly but it was not able to capture in a photo.
