Description

This ethereal floor-length maxi dress in soft sage blue is a testament to old-world craftsmanship, featuring intricate hand-smocking across the bodice, shoulders, and cuffs, with delicate scalloped trim detail and a full pleated skirt that sweeps dramatically to the floor. The long bishop sleeves with smocked cuffs and the row of dainty fabric buttons down the front give it a romantic, almost Pre-Raphaelite quality that serious vintage collectors will instantly recognize and covet. Some minor wear visible at the neckline smocking, but the overall structure and fabric remain in lovely wearable condition. A rare find for lovers of artisan textile work and vintage formal wear.

This stunning robe hails from the very chic world of Valentino Intimo, sold exclusively through Neiman Marcus, and it means business in the best possible way. Cut in a generous kimono-inspired silhouette, it features a luxurious satin shawl collar and cuffs in rich peacock blue against a sophisticated multi-toned plaid body in shades of teal, sky, grey, and navy. Size Medium with a self-tie belt and relaxed open front, this is the kind of robe that makes your morning coffee taste better. Some light spotting visible on the hem area, but otherwise a gorgeous and collectible designer loungewear piece.
