Jean Louis Sherrer Lacquered Lace Cocktail Dress
By Jean-Louis Scherrer
Located in New York, NY
Lovely J.L Scherrer cocktail dress in black lacquered lace over black velvet boned bustier dress. Larged ruffled lace collar and cuffs. Covered lace buttons down the back provide entry and a gathered lace "waist" cinches the silhouette.
