1960s Geoffrey Beene Chocolate Brown Wool Dress Gem Vintage 1960s Designer Geoffrey Beene Linen Red Dress Gem 1970s Graphic Geoffrey Beene Silk Backless Dress Shrimpton Couture Vintage 1960s Designer Geoffrey Beene Linen Red Dress Gem. I have this same dress in a brown version that is also currently available in the shop. If you want to see it in that color option, please click here to pop directly to that listing. Geoffrey Beene's evening wear rarely misses the mark. It always has this combination of elegance and sexiness with great details and workmanship that makes you feel that you are really wearing something special. Here we have a beautiful and very sexy silk chiffon bias cut gown with a fabulous squared off back cut out that leaves the back left bare. On this one the color combination begins with a nude underlay that is then topped with a layer of a deep green and finished with a deep blue. This creates that unique color that you see and gives the dress a really unusual tone and depth. Depending on the light and how the fabric is sitting the color seems to change before your eyes. It is quite unusual. The bodice has a wide band at the waist and on this version that band is left simple and clean. The arms are full near the body they begin from the top of that waist band and then narrow as they reach each cuff. The skirt swings out from the waist and there is literally yards and yards of fabric in it if you twirl it is a full circle. The neck scoops at the front but the back is left completely bare that bit of sexiness I mentioned above. It is just absolutely stunning.
