Jerry Silverman Black Silk Bow Neck Shift Dress w Geometric Seams – M, 1960s

About the Item

Known for their American take on Parisian designs, Jerry Silverman and Shannon Rodgers made simple, elegant clothes often with only a single design element for interest. Emblematic of that aesthetic, this dress is a minimalist sheath that appears simple but cleverly incorporates geometric seams that traverse the front bodice and cup the bust for exquisite fit. A single bow adorns the left neck for a distinctly Parisian flair, while a full front kangaroo pocket nods to American sportswear. Knee-length sleeveless sheath dress with high banded neck. Geometric, wide arrow-shaped seams beneath each breast and princess skirt seams front and back, with full kangaroo front pocket; tie bow at left neck. Rear metal zipper closure with two top hooks and eyes; fully lined in silk crêpe de chine. fabric: heavyweight silk georgette, crêpe de chine noteworthy: dry clean only; note beautiful interior construction condition: excellent repairs: none measurements neckline: 20” circumference x 1” tall shoulders: 16” from shoulder edge to edge bust: to 39” waist: 31” hips: 40” length: 37 ½” from shoulder, 31” from underarm sweep: 46” hem: 1 ¾” label: Shannon Rodgers for Jerry Silverman size: no size tag present; comparable to modern size medium
