Documented 1983 Valentino Dotted Red Silk Strapless Dress designer-christian-dior It closes at the side

It closes at the side with a series of snaps and each cuffs has hidden snaps

Perhaps the very occasional broken metal thread but I am being pretty picky

Unlined with ribbon finished interior seams and closes with a hook & eye at the neck

Many couture level finishes as you would expect

The color is black in some lights has a feel of a deep midnight blue

Documented 1983 Valentino Dotted Red Silk Strapless Dress designer-christian-dior It closes at the sideThis dress is wonderful and even better on a real body. It is made of a fluid scarf weight silk in a gorgeous red that has just a hint of a coral tone to it. The fabric has a secondary print of little triangles and flowers woven directly through the silk and then that is covered with a combination of oversized white dots and smaller blue & yellow dots. Long panels of the same silk fabric wrap around the waist, tie and then flow down each hip. Each
