This is a sensational 1995/96 little black dress designed by Gianni Versace. The dress is in a black wool and is lined in rayon and it was never worn. The Gianni Versace Couture tag is still attached. The dress has a side zipper, and a hidden built in bra, and we especially love the small detail of the inverted V fabric at the back of the scoop neck. The dress is labeled a size 40 which is approximately a US size 4. It's always hard to speculate size because different manufacturers use different guidelines. So we always encourage our clients to use the measurements provided for the best fit! There is a slight amount of stretch to the dress so there is a little bit of room in the measurements and the dress is meant to be worn fitted, so you can decide how tight you would like it to be!
