1960s Geoffrey Beene Black Petal Bell Sleeve Cocktail Dress color_gold Empire Waist: 31 1/2Vampy black silk cocktail dress by Geoffrey Beene! The dress falls just below the knee, with a loose shift silhouette, long sleeves, and a high neckline. The sleeves are incredible; the typical bell silhouette of the sleeves is subverted by the petal like fringe, giving the dress an edgy, vampy element. A classic silhouette with unexpected elements that make for an unforgettable cocktail dress!
