Prettiest Spring 1985 Chloe by Karl Lagerfeld Black Silk Organza Strapless Dress w Bow Detailing z-archive-chanel It has a one shoulder

It has a one shoulder cut with the sleeved side cut in a wide dolman that begins from the detailing at the hip and gradually narrows as it reaches the wrist

The entire bodice is densely covered in a combination of tiny black seed beads and large black paillettes

This makes it very light weight and yet the combination of types of silk allows it to me very constructed

Note that the zipper pull is gone but the zipper works perfectly so it has been left as original

The netting keeps it as light as a feather but also has enough structure to hold the shape and volume you see

That makes it land in the Karl Lagerfeld era who designed for them from 1974 to 1988. He left and eventually rejoined the label for a short stint from 1992 to 1996. The dress is fantastic and I love it. The dress is as light as air and it is made from a weightless silk organza that has just enough crispness to it
