About the Item

Sophisticated and quietly striking, this vintage Italian dress by Dipende dates to the 1990s and showcases a refined minimalist silhouette infused with subtle design innovation. Crafted entirely from lightweight black cotton, the dress features a sleek V neckline and long, clean-cut sleeves that enhance its elegant linearity. The true focal point of the piece is the dramatic central slit, lined with a contrasting panel in chocolate-brown striped fabric framed by raw-edged rust-colored silk-a unique and tactile detail that adds depth and artisanal character to the otherwise restrained construction. This unexpected element hints at the brand's experimental design sensibility, despite its elusive origins. The ankle-length design elongates the figure, while the structured yet breathable cotton makes it suitable for both transitional seasons and layering. A concealed back zipper ensures a smooth fit. A rare and expressive find, ideal for collectors or connoisseurs of understated Italian avant-garde fashion from the 1990s. The price listed is the final price. Any duties or customs charges are already included and remain entirely our responsibility, so you will not incur any additional costs. Shipping separately to be agreed upon. Please note: The measurements you find are flat measurements of the dress. To ensure the right fit, we suggest trying on a similar garment and comparing its measurements to ours.
