A highly coveted and ultra seductive Gianni Versace semi-sheer black silk chiffon bias-cut floor length gown dating back to Donatella Versace's iconic 2001 fall-winter collection. This exceptional dress is documented runway look #59. The garment mixes delicate silk chiffon with brown leather and the end result is truly sensational. The bodice has been skillfully draped low, trimmed with elegant leather cap sleeves. I love the matching adjustable Versace waist belt which works so well with the shoulder detail. The flattering bias-cut shape flows to the ground with impressive zig-zag pleating; intentionally left sheer right below the knee. Such a nod to 1930's design. This construction emphasizes a woman's seductive shape without adding any bulk or volume to the actual hips. This archival look is the type of dress you will reach for anytime you want to be noticed.
