The slip dress is precisely one of these: there is no designer who has not proposed it in his own collection, ignoring the harsh climate of the period. The identikit of the slip dress of the moment: simple and straight cut, in a bright and festive color, such as silver, bronze, gold or natural Champagne. Equipped or not with lace details or shiny applications, but still characterized by the typical thin straps. Just like the one spotted on the catwalk of No. 21: a mix of boudoir and formal elegance, which lends itself to the parties of the season.
