80s Witchy Black Silk Slip Dress & Scarf S, Vintage order Goth Designer Chiffon Asymmetrical "Ann Lawrence" Flapper Midi, Small

This is a stunning 80s vintage silk dress by fashion designer Ann Lawrence! This wispy, witchy party dress is black silk chiffon with a wild, captivating asymmetrical tabard handkerchief hem. Its many chiffon panels move beautifully when you walk and dance, making it perfect for Great Gatsby flapper parties. It has a scoop neckline that is deeper in the back, and it is sleeveless with narrow spaghetti straps and a dropped waist. It comes with a matching fluttery chiffon scarf that is sewn in segments to appear as if it were knotted. The dress is lined in satin inside to the dropped waist, and see-through, sheer and daring in the flowing but unlined skirt panels. It closes with an 11" invisible back zipper order and a hook & eye at the back top. It's also a divine witch costume dress for Halloween!

Ann Lawrence (1944-2018) was a vintage clothing collector and antique dealer, and she designed a line of lace clothing for Ralph Lauren. She opened her own label in 1985. Her work is known for attention to detail, repurposed antique materials and couture touches, and her designs retailed at the time for the equivalent of $760 up to $6,760 in today's money.
