MINT...IT'S NOT JUST FOR EASTER!

My friend's mother was very close with Karl Lagerfeld during his first stint as the designer at Chloe.  Lagerfeld made many pieces specifically for her.  Forty years later, this chic Berliner continues to wear high fashion but has slowly let me into the depth of her formidable closet and divine vintage collection. 
 
This mint chiffon Chloe evening dress has delicate embroidery, sheer long sleeves, and a luxe hippie vibe.  It may initially appear demure (a big trend on the runways as of late; see Valentino) and flow-y with a double layer skirt, but with a significantly revealing single layer top. It's the type of dress that requires a second tack both as a purchaser and as a viewer of the new owner.  This isn't Granny-chic, but rather a dress that reveals much more than it's first impression requiring a confident body.
