This classic lace slip dress - a nod to lingerie - integrates the sensual, feminine quality of Chantilly lace with the hard look of silver metal. Its look is refined, sexy, and ultimately daring. Calvin Klein's designs have chronicled the progress of the women's movement, and this dress, like much of his work, acknowledges a woman's prerogative to decide how and when to wear her clothes.
DescriptionSlip style evening dress in silver metallic chantilly lace over beige chiffon, with silver braid shoulder straps and trim; bra style décolleté bodice with triangular stomacher, slightly flared long skirtCollections
