This is a clever technique to ensure that the skirt sits perfectly and that the wearer does not inadvertently show skin between the top and skirt

It creates little rows with looped "balls" all along each and has a slight 3D effect too

1960s Sculptural Black Silk Teal Traina "Tuxedo" Dress designer-prada This is a clever techniqueA classic black dress never goes out of style and this one is a clever play on a men's tux whole still feeling completely female. It is constructed from a high quality black silk that holds the sculptural shape of the dress but is not too heavy to wear once on. The top is cut in a simple design with wide straps that curve up and around each shoulder. The front has a pretty scooped neckline that is mirrored on the back. I love the double row of buttons
