1980s Carolyne Roehm Black Silk Gown designer-stella-mccartney The belt is also inCarolyne Roehm worked at Oscar de la Renta and you can see that influence in this gown. This is a label you don't see often she only had her company from 1985 to 1991 so when we find one we are pretty excited. This is a great example of her work and it is well made and has that sort of timeless chic that she put into her work. It is cut with a soft, romantic feel. The top portion is black chiffon and gathered in curved drapes at the front and back.
