The Purist.

The purist does not cover the silk Isfahan with anything but open air. She does not muddle the Williams Chase in needless vermouth. For God’s sake, the purist does not put ketchup on Wagyu.

When wearing a silk and satin devoré, she does not overindulge in needless accoutrement. Not even Raoul Coutard would paint the light around you. Joan Crawford would have no notes. Not in this. In this, you are well enough to be left alone.

The Devoré Dress (No. 5429). Sultry sheer silk blend with satin “burnout” (devoré) technique in an abstract floral pattern. Black satin faux-slip lining. Lining has a V-neckline in front and straight back with spaghetti straps. Stretch satin waistband with beaded detail made of clear crystals, and black and gold beads. French seam finishes. Tea length. You will not want to take this off. Imported.

Pairs well with The Velvet & Chiffon Wrap (No. 5277).
