Grecian Formula: Five Divine Dresses

We're not talking about the mid-life crisis variety - these beautifully draped and diaphanous dresses are guaranteed to bring out your inner deity.

A dream of a dress, this black silk jersey dress is classic Halston. Impeccably draped in ethereal tiers it moves beautifully for heart-stopping glimpses of skin. Original Halston label (not diffusion lines), no size but approximately a contemporary 0-4.

'70s Holly's Harp black faux-wrap dress

Pictures don't do this one justice - it's quite a bit racier in reality with its plunging v-neck, keyhole back closure, and figure skimming semi-sheer fabric.
Labeled a medium, this will fit a range of sizes up to about a modern 8.

'70s Stan Herman for Van Raalte slip/dress

Technically, this one's lingerie but we think it's even better as a dress (partially lined in the important places). By Mr. Mort designer Stan Herman, its turquoise tiers were made for the dance floor. No size label, will fit a modern 0-6.

This spangly cocktail dress is dripping with Old Hollywood glamour from the gathered halter neckline to the nipped-in ruched waist. If you're looking to up the bombshell factor in your wardrobe, this is the dress for you. Unlabeled, about a modern 0-4.

Another killer Halston, this time in the lightest tomato-red cashmere. With built-in pockets and a changeable side-tie neckline, this is the perfect dress for day to night. No size label, about a modern 4-6.
