The slip dress was a popular style during the 1990s. Unstructured and slinky, it shifted away from structured, 1980s designs that emphasized a toned, muscular physique. Marc Jacobs created this particular example for a 1992 collection by the label Perry Ellis, which was inspired by “grunge” street style.
