Oscar de la Renta F/W 2009 Black "Paint Strokes" Black Ball Gown

Absolutely jaw-dropping gothic wedding DREAM! This de la Renta gown is from the Fall '09 Ready to Wear collection, as seen on the runway. A dream silhouette for bridal or the red carpet. Runway photo features a dramatic petticoat- what a fabulous accessory to this piece. Wear it alone or with accents. The stand out details of this gown aren't just its full body and gorgeous craftsmanship... the reflective "paint stroke" element to this fabric gives this piece a whole other dimension. The shimmering lamé  shines in multitudes of mahogany. It most lights, this dress could pass as velvet or pure lamé. A chameleon of light and beauty, this is an outstanding piece. Great vintage condition. No evident flaws, some inner hem frays not noticeable. Inner boned corset has zipper. Additional zipper on exterior back. Gorgeous strapless heart shaped neckline. Cropped in front accentuated to full rounded train. Listed as size 2, approximate US 0/2 with inner corset fully zipped.
