About the Item:

This iridescent orchid silk shantung halter dress features a plunging wrap neckline, a softly gathered waist, and a clean column silhouette, accompanied by a matching sash finished with contrasting purple fringe that can be styled in a variety of ways. Lily discovered it at one of her favorite neighborhood vintage stores, "a packed, kind of crazy shop" where, she says, "you can always find gems if you feel like really looking." She was immediately taken by the dress's rich color and playful versatility. "I loved the little contrast purple fray on the hem of that sash, which you can wear in so many different ways," she says. "I definitely tried it on as a turban when I put the dress on in the dressing room—some wishful thinking there for me." Though she held onto it for years, hoping for the right occasion, she ultimately decided it was time to pass it along. "I kept it for so long because I really wanted to wear it," she says. "But it was just a time where I decided to release her."

About the Label:

Jerry Silverman became one of America's leading ready-to-wear labels after its founding in 1959, with designer Shannon Rodgers at its creative helm. Celebrated for elegant occasionwear and evening dresses that balanced glamour with ease, the label developed a devoted following throughout the 1960s and '70s. Beyond fashion, Rodgers and Silverman left an enduring legacy through their extraordinary gift of fashion, textiles, and decorative arts to Kent State University, helping establish one of the country's foremost fashion museums and design programs.
