Sensational Scaasi 1980s Red Off The Shoulder Dress
About the Item
Legendary Canadian designer Arnold Scaasi opened his first couture salon in 1964. Known for his feminine, glamorous, and colorful designs, he received many prestigious fashion honors including a CFDA Lifetime Achievement award and a Coty award. He designed dresses for first ladies and Hollywood stars including the likes of Laura Bush, Elizabeth Taylor, Joan Crawford, and Barbara Striesand, and his work has been featured in renowned museums worldwide.
This sensational off-the-shoulder dress embodies what was great about Scassi’s work. Done in scarlet red silk, this jaw-droppingly beautiful dress exudes a compelling aura of old Hollywood glamor. The bodice begins with a deep off-the-shoulder V neckline that frames the delecotage. The interior of the bodice is boned to maintain its long corset shape, while the exterior is constructed of layered tiers of silk that give it a pleasing rhythm and visual movement of its own.

A special addition to the discerning fashion lover’s wardrobe, this Scaasi confection is meant for the spotlight and is sure to turn heads for many years to come.
This 1980s Arnold Scaasi dress is fully lined in red silk and has a concealed back zip and eye and hook closures. The interior of the bodice is boned and the skirt has five layers of netted tulle and a weighted hem in the lining that helps it retain its shape. In very good condition with light wear, this dress has been professionally eco dry cleaned and pressed. High-quality pieces like this are yours to live in and love while increasing in value every year. It’s never too soon to start collecting them, as an investment in your wardrobe—and in yourself.
