1970s evening gown from TITA ROSSI for SAKS 5th Ave.

Black Silk Jersey Formal Long Zip Front Dress.

Tita Rossi is not a super well known designer, but was featured in Ebony magazine back in the day. I have had a couple pieces from this designer. Very unique!

Love the zipper down the front!

Bodice is cut with a high neck in front and plunging halter style back. The only thing that makes is not a halter are the criss cross "rhinestone" straps.

Gathered in front.

Dropped waist.

Belt loops but no belt. I really don't know what kind of belt there was. I like the smooth draping look.

Skirt is a circle skirt and flowing when you walk.

Fabric is a silk jersey which drapes and moves beautifully.

Excellent Condition.

Measures:

Fabric is stretchy - Meant to hang in a shift

36 bust
