Early 1990s Donna Karan Cocktail Dress designer-la-mendola If you are a regular

If you are a regular it may look familiar - I actually have sold this dress before but the woman who bought it wore it to an event for an hour and will not wear it again so I talked her into letting it go to another lucky girl

There are couple of rhinestone missing on the sleeves that you do not notice are not there at all and one on the front

Sleeves: 20"

there is a melancholic undertone: faded flowers are trapped in chiffon and lace

Early 1990s Donna Karan Cocktail Dress designer-la-mendola If you are a regularThis is a great example of Donna Karan's earlier work and an extremely chic and wearable cocktail dress too! Made of a silk mixed and lined in silk I love the crinkled 3D texture she has created with the unusual exterior fabric choice. This is from her main earlier line and I suspect it is late eighties or early 90s it has a ILGWU tag inside the skirt. The cut is fantastic and she has nipped in the waist and the skirt is actually cut on the curve
