How does one describe perfection? These slip dresses from Merle noir are so magnificent that they are challenging our grasp on the English language. Whisper-weight burgundy silk is decorated with a cascade of intricate lace appliqué, so painstakingly stitched that it is hard to believe it was constructed by human hands. Anyone who owns such a treasure is truly and exceptionally fortunate.

One of our favorite things to do with any Merle Noir design is to flip it inside out: Merel’s years in the world of couture are readily evident in the details of the construction. French seams, perfectly even and tiny stitches; even the lace appliqué is so carefully done that you could wear the piece inside out and no one would be the wiser. There is no one else in the world of lingerie crafting such beautifully made pieces.
