Oscar de La Renta Black & Ivory Satin Cocktail Dress, 1970's
About the Item
1970's Oscar de La Renta black & ivory satin cocktail dress with a demure silhouette and decidedly chic look. The dress zips and hooks at the back with hidden side pockets and braiding at the neckline and cuffs. The two tone design presents the appearance of layered pieces and the collar and cuffs are simply whipstitched to the body of the dress and can be easily removed to create a collarless 'little black dress'. Great look for cocktail wear or a dinner out.
CONDITION
Good vintage condition with a minor smudge mark at the collar shown in photograph 14. The whipstitching at the cuffs and collar shows some loose stitching and could be tightened, if desired. Please see photographs 11, 12 and 13. There are belt loops at the waist but the original belt is missing in action. Professionally cleaned and ready for wear.
SIZING & MEASUREMENTS
Marked a U.S. size 8 and fits sizes 6 - 8 with attention to the following measurements. For visual reference, the mannequin in the photographs is a size 4 and the dress was too large and had to be pinned to create the correct silhouette.

Oscar De La Renta
Oscar de la Renta was not just a designer for the ages but a designer for women of all ages — from Hollywood starlets to silver-haired doyennes, from fashion icons (Sarah Jessica Parker) to iconic brides (Amal Alamuddin Clooney), from leading ladies of hip-hop (Nicki Minaj) to First Ladies of the United States (Jacqueline Kennedy all the way through to Michelle Obama). The secret to his broad and enduring appeal? “I have always thought that my role as a designer is to do the very best I can for a woman,” de la Renta told 1stDibs in a 2010 profile.
And for de la Renta, doing the very best meant making a woman feel beautiful, glamorous and full of confidence, whether she was walking down the red carpet or a crowded city street. "You carry the clothes, the clothes don't carry you," he went on to say in our story.
A perennial favorite on 1stDibs, Oscar de la Renta designs evolved over the years, as the large selection of items below attests, but whether bolero or ball gown, vintage or current, the pieces exude elegant sophistication and enduring originality — much like the man himself.
