1970s One Shoulder Pastel Jerry Silverman Dress

The Silverman company closed in 1978 and they donated their archives and clothing collection to the Kent State University which formed the start of the Museum there. I think that it is always lovely to have a piece from a designer whose name will continue through the efforts of museums and collectors and it certainly makes them a good investment as well. This particular dress is a really spectacular one shoulder chiffon dress. The pretty pastel palette is so feminine and will flatter most skin tones. It is constructed of a pretty chiffon that flows and moves beautifully with hand rolled edges. The design that runs over it is amazing marbled motif in a mix of soft colors that gains depth as it nears the hem. It is almost weightless and yet constructed so that it drapes on the body perfectly with the side that runs over the arm having an almost caftan feel. This gives it a very floating effect when you move. That very top layer floats over an inner dress that has the same fabric on the exterior and is fully lined underneath. Love the effect created with the two layers floating over each other. Excellent condition

The inner dress is fully lined in a off white silky rayon and closes with side painted metal zipper. Hand rolled edges

Bust: 17.5" flat across from side seam to side seam
Waist: 15.5" flat across from side seam to side seam
