RAQUEL DINIZ New Samba silk-chiffon mini dress in black

The New Samba is Raquel Diniz's short version of her Samba dress, cut in black silk chiffon on fine spaghetti straps. The sweetheart bodice is gathered into soft folds that draw to a small keyhole at the centre, and the skirt falls loose over a lining to a sheer, floating hem. It is a black mini with a softer hand than most.
