Original 1940s Western Fringe Plaid Jacket designer-vivienne-westwood thick panels of glossy black

thick panels of glossy black sequins

The skirt is amazing - it really borders on being wearable art

Note that it is very tiny and would not fit on any of my mannequins hence the hanger presentation

It is cut to wrap around the torso of the wearer like a corset of crystal

I love the decorative use of buttons on this one - it gives the illusion of a crossed over dress
