stunning dress from the Fall 1997 Dolce & Gabbana collection made of sheer stretch silk chiffon with a feather and ribbon appliqué at the knee. the dress features a completely boned corset and has amazing touches, like the delicate visible stitching between panels in the bust, the long handkerchief bottom at the skirt and the off the shoulder shape. bias cut, which, paired with the slight stretch in the fabric, ensures an amazing fit. walked the runway in black on Karen Elson and in white on Stella Tennant, and the feather appliqué was featured on other similar designs. an exceptional, very collectible dress.

excellent vintage condition. no flaws. dry-cleaned and ready to be worn.

we decided not to clamp the dress on the mannequin as we didn't want to risk damaging the silk or the corset's boning. the dress will obviously be pulled taught on the proper size and you can see on the models on the runway how it fits. even a few sizes too large on the mannequin the fit is good, and will be amazing on the right person.

made in Italy. the fabric tag has been removed, but we found one other instance of the dress online (now sold) with the tags attached, showing that it is 96% silk and 4% spandex. pictures can be provided if desired, simply inquire through our contact form or by email. size tag removed, best fits M-L or US 8-10 (maybe 6) - there is some wiggle room due to the stretch of the fabric and bias cut of the dress. the arm holes and straps that fit off the shoulder are a little restrictive, however, so please take that into account.
