Calvin Klein began experimenting with slip dresses during the 1980s. This particular version from the mid-90s is made from a smooth jersey that clings to the figure, while the dramatic cutaway back further exposes the wearer’s physique. Both design elements are an homage to the body-revealing fashions of the 1930s.
