Description

Elegant and comfortable evening gown by Tadashi Shoji. This black gown is accented with silvery-white piping that makes an artful pattern (see photos) while complimenting the figure. There’s a 31″ slit to the front left. The back fastens with a 12″ zipper and a hook. The gown is about 59/60″ from top of shoulder strap to the bottom; about 15″ from pit to pit; and about 12″ at the waist (there’s plenty of stretch in the material – for example, waist will stretch to at least 14″). Tadashi is known for comfortable fabrics, and this is a great example. 82% rayon, 10% nylon, 8% lycra. Made in the USA.

Tadashi Shoji was born in Japan (Jan. 15, 1948) and was a visual artist from early on. After studying art in Tokyo and working with the avant-garde artist Jiro Takamatsu, he moved to Los Angeles in 1973. He took a fashion class that led to an apprenticeship with Bill Whitten, a very successful costume designer, and redirected his talent into the world of clothing. Tadashi launched his own label in 1982. It was 25 years later (2007) that he staged his first runway show (of higher-end clothing) during New York Fashion Week.  He now is carried by over 700 stores around the world, and his gowns are worn by stars ranging from Helen Mirren to Katy Perry to Dita Von Teese. “Everything is meant to stretch. Even when it’s beaded lace or embroidered, there’s give. There’s almost a T-shirt feeling to wearing my evening dresses.” ~Shoji Tadashi (New York Times) www.tadashishoji.com
