Slip Dress, Inc.

Zambak, a new JV line from Istanbul, presents light layering pieces constructed of tulle and upcycled leather. Their bolero vest is a cage of netting which is then strategically hand-appliquéd with leather daisies. Your body and slip dress peek through enticingly, (whether you wear the vest backward or forward!). You might add the matching bell-shaped skirt. These two pieces recall the 60s silhouettes and daisy theme of Cristobal Balenciaga.

Karolina Laskowska reveals even more of you with her graceful Thalia Corded Lace Capelet. Sitting smartly on your shoulders, it elevates your comings and goings with black paisley lace.

Create an illusion for your slip dress with Gilda & Pearl’s RSVP Embroidered Top. Shaped as an innocent little puff-sleeved blouse, its black net body is completely sheer, accented with glimmering gold French embroidery. Love the ruffled high neckline with keyhole at front and black silk tie.

Onstage, Amy Winehouse often wore a signature waist-cinching belt, which not only gave her low-cut dresses a boho look, but also accentuated her bosom and legs. Consider belting your own slip dress with the Tayla Waist Corset from Hervé by Céline Marie. It is crafted from transparent black tulle appliquéd with metallic Leavers floral lace and features front closure with golden hooks and eyes, gentle boning, and black lacing at back for a fully adjustable fit. 

Gilda & Pearl have the right idea with two fringed robes that work beautifully with their slips and slip dresses. Mix and match the High Society Midi Robe in dusky pink silk or the tiger-print Lili Long Robe with the Sophia Ruby Slip or Lili Midi Slip Dress. Or wear the robes by themselves as…dresses!

The joy of JV dressing is the way the pieces have been selected to work together, like building blocks. A slip dress is just the beginning.
