Silk Laundry’s designs are what minimalist dreams are made of; simple elegance with quality woven in every thread.
This 1996 Dress gets its name and inspiration from the iconic midnight-blue slip dress worn by Princess Diana at the 1996 Met Gala in New York.
Cut on the bias from pure silk that’s been sand-washed for a matte shimmer, this stunning women’s slip dress will pick up beautifully in the low evening light. It has a flattering round neckline and thin spaghetti straps that can be adjusted for a comfortable fit.
A study in movement and heat, the “Dancing Lady” print channels the flirtation and flourish of its namesake orchid. Splashed across a dark, sultry base, fiery orange blooms seem to sway mid-dance–layered and full of motion, like flamenco in full swing. Each petal arcs and twirls with painterly precision, creating a rhythmic pattern that feels both spontaneous and deliberate.
This print is an extension of the Wonderland narrative, celebrating nature’s dramatic flair and its uncanny ability to perform. Here, Silk Laundry leans into the theatrical, pairing the floral’s bold curves with rich tones of crimson and coral, set against moody depths for maximum contrast.
Cut in a fluid silhouette that drape and skim with ease, the “Dancing Lady” print offers a sultry counterpoint to the collection’s more whimsical illusions–perfect for evenings that begin with elegance and end in motion.
With such a classic silhouette, Silk Laundry’s 1996 Dress is an investment that you'll wear season after season.
