Documented 1983 Valentino Dotted Red Silk Strapless Dress designer-james-galanos It is an amazing pieceThis 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
