1940s Silk Draped Femme Fatale Dress designer-yves-saint-laurent This little 1940s piece isThis is an absolutely stunning example of the 1940s film noir, femme fatale dress. It is a masterpiece of drape and the fabric is equally wonderful. A matte crepe silk has a couple dancing worked into and through the silk in a relief that has a slight matte silk satin feel to it. These swirl across the dress and add a beautiful second layer of texture and interest. The cut of this piece is amazing and worthy of any of the great current designers who
