Right: Christian Dior black silk crepe evening gown with cut-outs at the back accented with diamanté ball buttons.
This cut-out style was destined to be copied by nearly everyone. I've sold numerous 1960's cocktail dresses with interesting cut-outs at the back. This is the original.

Right: Philippe Venet back wrap coat in cream wool fleece. Has a belt and a slit at the front hem.
OK, I have to comment on these coats. They close in the back. Interesting, but I can just see myself trying to figure out how the heck this was worn if I ever found one of these at an estate. I would more than likely have put it on the mannequin backwards and wondered why it wasn't falling correctly and why the pockets were on the back!
