Constructed in refined cherry-red “Calais” lace, this mini dress features a slim bodice and flares out at the waist into a tiered ruffled skirt.

The matching evening bolero jacket is embellished with a silk ribbon around the ruffle collar, the cuffs and the waist and fastens with two buttons. Incredibly feminine and flattering, this dress suit is the perfect choice for parties and cocktail events. Fits approx. : US 2-6 / FR 36-38 This item has been professionally cleaned, pressed & carefully inspected by a couture-trained seamstress before being sold.

  • Vintage 1970s Sant' Angelo Burgundy Draped Chiffon Bodysuit & Fringed Maxi Skirt
    By Giorgio di Sant' Angelo
    Located in Beverly Hills, CA
    Incredibly stunning and highly desirable Giorgio Sant' Angelo designer bodysuit ensemble dating back to the late 1970's. He first hit the fashion scene when Diana Vreeland asked him to design clothing for a desert location shoot that starred Verushka in 1968. This shoot is legendary and his clothing was instantly sought out by all the most fashionable women on the planet. Sant' Angelo was the winner of two Coty Awards and two Council of Fashion Designers of America honors. He has had an entire museum exhibit dedicated to his work and will go down in history as one of the great American designers. This seductive two-piece set is a perfect example of his genius. I love the low-cut plunging draped bodysuit as a wardrobe staple. Would also look fantastic with trousers or jeans! The interior is a stretch jersey in a matching burgundy hue so when you put it on, the bodysuit molds to your bod in the most comfortable way. The sleeves are cut long and the draped backless bodice flows into the sash which wraps around the waist. Such a smart design! The matching high-waist embroidered fringe maxi skirt finishes the look off effortlessly. Sant' Angelo once said, "I am not a fashion designer but an artist who works in fashion engineer of form." We added many pictures so you can appreciate this masterful achievement. Measurements Bodysuit (varies due to stretch) Bust: 34-38 inches Waist: 26-30 inches Sleeve Length: 24 inches Skirt Waist: 28 inches Hips: up to 42 inches Total Length: 44 inches This vintage Giorgio di Sant...
