1970s Valentino Cross Back Linen Dress designer-christian-dior Bust: 15-17" flat across from

Bust: 15-17" flat across from side seam to side seam

This is really demi-couture and rare examples of Ungaro's work during this time period

The cut is very chic and simple and I love the silk satin shoulder inset

Note that the belt shows some separation from the back leather backing where the glue has let go but presents perfectly from the front

1970s Valentino Cross Back Linen Dress designer-christian-dior Bust: 15-17" flat across fromClassic Valentino! It is made of a white linen which was a favored fabric and incorporates a wide swath of embroidered lace at its hem again a Valentino signature! I love the cut it slims the body without being overtly tight. The back is left quite bare with a criss cross strap. The seams are all vertical so help add length and leanness. That hem is to die! It is a full 10" wide! Love! Excellent condition This looks like it had a lining at one point
