Megan's cocktail dress

Character-defining Mad Men scene .… the ad office watches as Don Draper's new wife wiggles in a diamond-topped black dress, crooning a hot, burlesque-inspired Zou Bisou Bisou to his surprised face. This is DV's version of the cocktail frock Jessica Paré made unforgettable. Similarities include: high neck, fitted polyester-knit body, sheer chiffon sleeves, rhinestone bracelets. It also offers Courègges-like top-stitching at the waistband, a sharply-defined bust, and a knee-length a-line silhouette. The sleeves fit like gloves, long cuffs are turned up 1" & re-buttoned, and four faceted buttons finish each wrist. Metal zipper. Enjoy.
