Stunning St. John Evening by Marie Gray black halter gown in luxurious Santana knit. This sophisticated evening gown showcases the exquisite design elements that made Marie Gray's work so coveted.

Design Details: The gown features a dramatic halter neckline with a flattering slight "V" and backless design. The bodice is beautifully constructed with a surplice black chiffon overlay draped over the Santana knit creating an elegant layered effect with ruched detailing front & back. The bias-cut skirt flows gracefully and includes a distinctive sheer chiffon triangular panel inserted between the knit on one side. This architectural detail runs from the floor to approximately waist/hip level, offering an alluring glimpse of leg through the sheer fabric—a signature design element that adds movement, drama, and visual interest.

Fabric & Construction: Premium Santana knit with sheer chiffon overlay and panels. The quality of the knit and craftsmanship is exceptional as expected from St. John Evening pieces from this era.  Invisible zipper in back.

Care Instructions

We examine each item carefully and note any imperfections, but unless an item is said to be new, please don't expect it to be perfect & even some new items have small imperfections. I will always state in the description if there are any imperfections & I never do repairs but leave them to others who are better able to do them than me as that is not my expertise.

Please remember that unless specified all items have been used and will show varying signs of use or wear. We always list the obvious imperfections to the best of our abilities. However, some slight imperfections that will not show or affect wearing or using the item may slip by or not be considered worth mentioning.

Vintage nightgowns & peignoirs may be delicate so I do not wash them in the machine. I wash them in lukewarm water with Woolite or some other mild soap, then rinse & hang dripping wet in the shower.

Since these are vintage items, a bit of extra care needs to be taken with them so they remain beautiful & I definitely would never put a vintage nightgown or a peignoir in the dryer as it would ruin it.

The items are sold as we find them. We do not dry clean, launder, alter or repair vintage clothing and they should be cleaned or washed upon arrival. Please make your selection carefully & check the measurements as there is no return on clothing or other items.
