1960s Couture Gustave Tassell Pleated Silk Dress designer-arnold-scaasi I have not added any

I have not added any crinolines to the skirt though you could to make it even more exaggerated a shape

The jacket is pure Yves with a matte silk satin lapel cut to mimic a man's tuxedo

The front and back dip to low V's and the dress hugs your curves to just past the hip

He also circles the hem with this same detailing
