I don't understand why anyone would wear so many tassels, if you aren't going to incorporate them into your dance routine. Or maybe I just hang out in the wrong kind of dance halls...
The audience members faces are the best! Dean Martin looks terrified. Oh and the tassel on her crotch area is too much!! Would love to know who designed that work of art!!!
ya know, the nipple tassels didn't bother me but the crotch tassels were kind of mortifying. poor girl had to dance in front of dean martin wearing that and pretend to smile the whole time.
I'm a native New Yorker and sewing fanatic! I started sewing in 2009 and today make all my own clothes using vintage sewing machines and vintage patterns, in addition to sewing for private clients. Welcome to the warm and whimsical world of Male Pattern Boldness, where the conversation is sewing, style, fashion, fabric, and more!
Worst dance number costume ever! Even Dean Martin seemed stunned.

ReplyDeleteAgree with the first comment! It looks like a bad alien medical experiment! What the heck is this movie?
ReplyDeleteI think it's "The Silencers" -- a James Bond-type movie starring Dean Martin.
ReplyDeletePoor Cyd Charisse; at this stage in her career she deserved better than tassels.
Haha! No-one in the audience seems to know what the heck to make of it!
ReplyDeleteAs a friend of mine used to say, "I have that very same outfit at home-only in PLAID!"
ReplyDeleteCostume and hair, awful. Dancer fabulous. A pity she had to wear that mess.

ReplyDeletePoor Cyd! That costume belongs in the Hall of Shame.

ReplyDeleteHorrible dress, hot lady. I love the Matt Helms movies, they just capture the era in such a cool kitschy way.
