c 1970 Oscar de la Renta Black Silk Taffeta Backless Halter Neck Dress w Extensive Ruffle Detailing designer-hermes The skirt is fully linedLate 60s maybe the first couple years of the 1970s and it seems similar to some of the pieces I've seen from the 1970 season. Under the creative direction of Oscar de la Renta The dress is made from a beautiful black silk taffeta that holds the shape and volume that this dress has perfectly. The fabric choice also keeps the dress fairly light in weight while giving the dress some structure and shape. Two shaped triangles cover the front of the bodice
