This is a distinctive vintage dress by Slager, featuring a contrast between the shiny, chiffon-like sleeves and bodice and the matte lower skirt. The glossy upper layer has a softly reflective quality, giving the garment movement and visual depth, while the skirt portion stays flat and rich in colour. The long sleeves are made from a lightweight, slightly sheer fabric with a lustrous finish, reminiscent of chiffon or a fine satin blend, that contrasts beautifully with the solid, matte material of the bodice and skirt. The high mandarin-inspired collar and tailored waistline enhance its structured silhouette, making the piece both elegant and eye-catching. This dress embodies the bold use of mixed textures and colour that was popular in the late 60s and 70s.
How to Style? Let the dress lead, the texture contrast and mandarin collar are already the statement. Pointed-toe heels in black or nude, hair swept up to show the collar. A small evening clutch, nothing elaborate.
