About the Item

A wonderful example of early 60’s couture, this halterneck steel blue dress will fit perfectly for a wedding or any party event ! Constructed both in silk and satin silk, this piece features a bustier bodice which is covered with two softly ruched silk chiffon strips. The bustier underdress, with its sweetheart neckline, conceals a large modern internal elasticated belt for extra support to the boned structure. As light as air, a fully gathered chiffon skirt provides a very feminine silhouette. This airy dress fastens with a zip, hooks and eyes at the back. Fits approx. : US 2-4 / FR 36 Measurements (taken flat) : Bust approx. 43.5 cm (17.1 inches) Waist approx. 33 cm (13 inches) Length (lower part of the sweetheart to waist) approx. 19.3 cm (7.6 inches) Length (waist to hem) approx. 60 cm (23.6 inches) This item has been professionally cleaned, pressed & carefully inspected by a couture-trained seamstress before being sold.

Alaïa Ribbed Knit Mini Dress, Fall-Winter 1990-1991
By Azzedine Alaïa
Located in Geneva, CH
This recognizable 90's Alaïa slim-fit viscose ribbed knit celadon mini dress is designed to flatteringly follow the line of the silhouette. The runway dress presented at the 1990-1991 Alaïa's Fall-Winter fashion show (look 74, see picture 8) was almost identical except for a few details such as that it was not ribbed. This unlined piece nips in at the waist and features a contrasting "mini-ribbed" scoop collar, wrists and hemline (see pictures 3, 9 & 11). Labeled a size M, the stretchy fabric will easily accommodate a small L size as well. Made in Italy. Worn in a different colorway by Nicole Richie during her book signing “The Truth about Diamonds” at Virgin Megastore in New York (see pictures 4, 5 & 6), the same dress was seen on Margot Robbie in the infamous “nursery scene” in The Wolf of Wall Street film (see pictures 12 & 13). Definitely a chic and versatile vintage must-have from Azzedine Alaïa ! Fabric contents : 93% Rayon, 5% Nylon & 2% Spandex (Elasthan). Fits approx. : US 2-8 (small US 8) / FR 36-40 (small FR 40) Measurements (taken flat and un-stretched) : Width (shoulder to shoulder) approx. 34 cm (13.4 inches) Width (from armpit to armpit) approx. 34 cm (13.4 inches) Waist approx. 23.5 cm (9.3 inches) Length (shoulder to hem) approx. 86.5 cm (34.1 inches) Sleeve length approx. 56.5 cm (22.2 inches) Total length approx. 91.5 cm (36 inches) This item has been professionally cleaned, pressed & carefully inspected by a couture-trained seamstress before being sold.

Documented Emanuel Ungaro Silk Leopard Print Wrap Dress, Spring-Summer 2000
By Emanuel Ungaro
Located in Geneva, CH
From the SS2000 Emanuel Ungaro collection, this wrap dress features a large ruffle on the cleavage. Punchy shades of pink and bright magenta leopard print. Her purple-colored twin was the look 45 of the runway show (see picture 3). This dress closes with a long silk band on the right side. Like a “second skin” see-trough (tiny rectangular holes) light silk. Unlined, the dress runs a little bit small to size. Fits approx. : US 4-6 / FR 36-38 Measurements (taken flat) : Width (shoulder to shoulder) approx. 40 cm (15.7 inches) Width (armpit to armpit) approx. 42 cm (16.5 inches) Arm length approx. 64 cm (25.2 inches) Length (shoulder to hem) approx. 104 cm (40.9 inches) Total length approx. 105 cm (41.3 inches) This item has been professionally cleaned, pressed & carefully inspected by a couture-trained seamstress before being sold.
