Gorgeous 1960's Mr. Blackwell Nude Illusion Silk and Soutache Three Piece Suit Set / M
š A B O U T
A rare and exquisitely worked three-piece ensemble from Mr. Blackwell's "At the Dunes" label.Ā The dress, jacket, and skirt are each built from dense floral medallions of ribbon soutache, hand-worked over sheer net, giving the illusion of solid embroidery while remaining airy and light on the body.
The sleeveless sheer shell top has a scooped sweetheart neckline and fitted bodice, worn over a matching fitted skirt with side zipper closure ā the sheer soutache net reads as a cohesive sheath from the outside, while underneath the garment is fully silk-lined for opacity and structure. The cropped jacket, three-quarter sleeved, is finished with a genuine mink shawl collar and closes at center front, adding a luxe outer layer for cooler evenings.
Fully lined in silk throughout, with hand-finished interior seams and the original "Mr. Blackwell / At the Dunes" satin label stitched into the jacket collar.
