1970s Werle Bead Flocked Silk "Toga" Dress

the best evening silhouette is one shouldered Werle's smashing one shouldered dress in black silk crepe with a twist that takes you from basic black to something a little more, well, noticeable. Flocked with a diamond pattern of tiny white and pink microsequins (tinier than seed beads - only a millimeter big) on matte crepe, it is lined in a black silk jersey. Open completely on one side, the drape of the flocked layer is wonderful against the totally formfitting underlayer so you get a hint of what the body is like underneath instead of coming off like your'e trying to hide something. Slit to the knee on the open side, we love this with an antique lacquered Chinese box with huge silk tassel as a clutch and George Mang black satin D'Orsay pumps. Constructed so it comes off in a very Birth of Venus moment, leaving you clothed one second and standing a pool of silk crepe the next. Bust measures 34", hips up to 38" and length 57". Excellent condition. $620.00
