1928 Callot Soeurs created this unique evening dress. It has been carefully devised to appear as though it was simply a long silk scarf that has been draped about the frame. In reality the black silk crepe chiffon of the dress has been expertly embroidered in a manner that enhances that illusion. There is a narrow band of black silk panne velvet that borders the chiffon and gives it a bit more structure. The dress also has a silk satin underdress that exists primarily as a support structure.
