collette dinnigan brown silk crepe slipdress

The designer:

Collette Dinnigan

The mood:

Remember Liz Taylor in "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof", peering through the bars on a cast-iron bed like she were in a jail cell. Well, maybe if you had been married to Larry Fortensky, you'd feel like you were in prison but we could definitely stomach a couple of weeks with young Richard Burton and several cases of really good champagne.

The fabric, the size and the condition:

Brown silk crepe slipdress with ecru lace trim and sage ribbon along the neckline and trailing at the hem. Gathered bodice and skinny straps. Australian small, which translates to an American 2 or 4, Flawless, unworn condition with original hang tags.

The price:

$440.00
