1990s Romeo Gigli Velvet & Disc Dress & Clutch designer-biba White machine lace is back

White machine lace is back in a white rayon and then sculpted and seamed to follow every curve

I love the play of print on a smooth textured fine wool

This gown has a definite nod to the 1960s but that extravagant bow detail that seems to flow from the very fabric of the dress is pure 1980s drama

Waist: 14î flat across from side seam to side seam

I see some very minor repairs to what would have been some breaks on the front shoulders and perhaps there is a small break here and there

1990s Romeo Gigli Velvet & Disc Dress & Clutch designer-biba White machine lace is backGigli loved the idea of matching your bag to your dress and it was a bit of a signature for him to do so. Here we have a great little set that still has its original matching clutch. Both pieces are made of a pretty blue crushed velvet that has an almost tie dye effect running through the fabric. To this a series of plastic iridescent discs are attached. Each disk has been heat treated to partially fold and twist it and this just adds to the textures
