Geoffrey Beene black and silver cocktail dress with lace overblouse.

The lace is from France, and was a favorite fabric of Mr. Beene’s, as lace does not wrinkle. Mr. Beene incorporated the lace design in his own design (in this case, the overblouse hem). The effect is a scalloped hem which shows the lace as it was woven.Russell Nardozza, Senior Vice President of Geoffrey Beene, LLC
