This matching ensemble of knitted dress and lycra tights was designed by Bodymap. The designers Stevie Stuart and David Holah formed the company, which had a reputation during the 1980s for producing innovative layered clothing.
This dress is hand-knitted from black cotton, with ribbing at the top, skirt and cuffs for increased elasticity. The bright knitted ruffles add colour to the front of the dress. The back is a plain tube, with added drama provided by the coloured bows on the back of the tights.
