About the Item

Designed more than thirty years ago, this 80's Ungaro Parallèle cocktail dress is still furiously trendy ! Made from taupe brown soft wool, it is artfully draped and knotted for a body-contouring fit. The gathered bodice turns to reveal a sexy twisted cut-out back, while the asymmetric hem (wrap-effect style) is split to reveal a flash of leg. The dress fastens with a concealed zip, hook and eye on the left side. The size tag is missing. As the fabric is a bit stretchy, the dress will accommodate the next size up. Made in Italy. Remark : picture n° 19 shows the French actress Anouk Aimée photographed by Helmut Newton for the Ungaro Parallèle ADV campaign in another version of this dress, but with the same fabric and design at the shoulders. 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. Credit photo : Picture n° 19 -> Anouk Aimée by Helmut Newton for Emanuel Ungaro Parallèle ADV campaign published in Vogue France, February 1985 (via julen_morras_azpiazu IG account)
