1990s David Warren Satin-Collar Maxi Dress
A long black column of a dress with a collar that means business. The pointed collar is satin, and so is the center band that runs from the neckline all the way down to the hem, set with eleven satin-covered buttons. They're only for show: the dress zips up the back and closes at the neck with three clasps, so there's nothing to fuss with at the front.
Fully lined, with short cap sleeves and long seams that shape it through the bust and waist. Severe in the best way.
