Incredible 1980s Valentino Haute Couture Pale Blue Silk Chiffon Dress w Elaborate Gathered Bodice sold There is a small repair

There is a small repair and faint water spot along the front

This is a fine and rare example from this time period

Fully lined in a red silk with a built in bra though the bodice that hooks to close separately

The dress has that feeling of simplicity that the nineties epitomized and yet

The fabric itself is wonderful - its a velvet cross check on a silk organza base over and inner lining

Incredible 1980s Valentino Haute Couture Pale Blue Silk Chiffon Dress w Elaborate Gathered Bodice sold There is a small repairThere are hints of this dress from both the 1986 collection and in the 1988 collection. The original owner did buy it in the 1980s but I do not have the exact day. I tend to lean towards the earlier date for it but I have included reference photos from both the above mentioned collections. It is a stunning example of Valentino's work during this time period. The dress is beautiful to see in person. It flows over the body from the more fitted bodice
