Christian Dior Spring 2011 by John Galliano Sea Dress designer-richard-tyler Tagged with the couture black

Tagged with the couture black tag this is a wonderful versatile and rare piece that is both infinitely wearable and collectible

I love the graphic feel of this little black strapless dress from Geoffrey Beene with its two saucy cream felt details on the bust

The dress skims over you to meet those two bottom tiers of chiffon

Item# DD3529

The fabric is a light crepe so falls well but not so light that you have to have the perfect body underneath - this fabric is light enough to drape well but heavy enough to cover flaws and be flattering
