Philippe Venet Black Velvet Dress with Balloon Sleeves

About the Item

Step into timeless elegance with this rare vintage dress by legendary French couturier Philippe Venet, known for his refined, discreet luxury and masterful tailoring. Crafted in the late 1970s, this striking black dress showcases a rich velvet bodice contrasted with voluminous taffeta balloon sleeves, gathered at the shoulders and cuffs. The silhouette is sculptural yet romantic, with a gently cinched waist and a tiered skirt that finishes with a sheer trim for added movement and texture. The label "Boutique Philippe Venet - Paris / Milan" confirms its origin from one of Venet's exclusive ateliers. An exquisite piece of fashion history, perfect for collectors, eveningwear connoisseurs, or those seeking a one-of-a-kind vintage statement. Please note: The measurements you find are flat measurements of the dress.
