Silk Dupioni dress from J. Peterman. It happens when two silkworms decide (for reasons known only to the silkworm heart) to spin their cocoons together. From this silken union comes a fabric with a crisp feel, lots of nubby character, and a fascinating, iridescent look. This flattering, extra-feminine dress is made of it. Below-calf cut of shimmering silk with full sweep and self sash-tie. Three-quarter cuffed sleeves with self-covered buttons. Big, dramatic pointed collar.
