1990's Gold Silk Flapper Dress with Black Lace Detail from Philosophy by Alberta Ferretti.
Meet your new summer statement dress! Thoughtfully designed and beautifully constructed, the black lace detail on the bodice and hem lies between layers of the exquisite golden silk, creating a pretty illusion. We paired her with our Isabel Marant boots, but she can handle a strappy heel or sandal just as well.
In classic sleeveless flapper style, the dropped waist is accentuated by a black lace and sequined band, and a sweet side ruffle for a flirty feel. Bodice features a drop square neckline and scalloped black lace peeking out from the silk detail.
Top of the dress is made from an opaque gold silk crepe, while the delicately gathered skirt is made of a feather light, sheer silk chiffon lined in gold silk. It's an easy fit over the head, and incredibly comfortable.
She's a delicate piece and has sequins so there are a few faint snags in the fabric. If you keep the sequins away from the silk (always hang it up) there will be no more snags. We have discounted this piece a bit because of the snags and some very slight wear at one arm hole.
