This fabulous set is by Claude Montana and is a favorite. Montana designed for strong woman and his pieces always pushed the envelope and defined the female form in a way that felt sculptural. Once worn together these look like a dress but it is actually two separate pieces - a body suit and a wrap skirt. The base of both pieces feels like a starched polished cotton and this fabric choice gives the pieces that little bit of body they need to give them the shape he wished them to have. Montana was a genius at creating structure with fabric while still allowing the body to be able to move freely. The bodysuit has a high, squared off neckline with straps the curve around and down  to the waist leaving the back bare. The skirt is fabulous. It wraps and hooks into place and has a signature mirrored piece set at the waist for detail. The skirt is cut in a swirling curve around the body and the entire lower half is finished with a stiffened black netting. It's sexy and naughty but covered at the same time. Extraordinary. Excellent condition

Both pieces are made of a double layer of the exterior fabric and the bottom half of the body suit is made of a stretch jersey. The bodysuit closes with a low zipper at the back and snaps at the bottom. The skirt hooks to close and there are two rows of loops so you can adjust the fit. It would be easy to move and add to these if you needed to go up or down a bit more on the skirt. Both pieces are tagged a size 40.
