Wilhelmina Gown

The Wilhelmina is two dresses in one motion. A clean strapless column sits underneath and a sheer cape pours from the shoulders to the floor, so standing still it is architecture and walking it is weather. It is the black gown that ends the debate about what to wear.

The Cut

• OverlayTransparent through the shoulders and arms, opaque where it counts.
• ColumnA straight fitted line from bust to ankle.
• ColorTrue black, the kind that photographs cleanly.

Heels and a metallic clutch finish it, and nothing else is needed.
