1970's Beene Bazaar Silk Velvet Dress / Duster

An extraordinary vintage Beene Bazaar by Geoffrey Beene dress crafted from plush black silk velvet with contrasting ivory satin details. Cut with a beautifully romantic, almost Edwardian silhouette, featuring a fitted bodice, softly gathered waist, long sleeves, and a sweeping full-length skirt.

The oversized ivory satin shawl collar frames the deep neckline and is echoed at the turned-back cuffs, creating a dramatic contrast against the rich black velvet. The long silhouette allows it to work beautifully as either a dress or worn open and layered as an evening duster.

A truly special Geoffrey Beene piece, the combination of sumptuous silk velvet, dramatic proportions, and stark black-and-ivory palette feels both historical and remarkably modern.
