A Vivienne Westwood dress so fabulous, that the Dame herself wore one (in black, which we also have) when meeting with Lady Diana! Following the iconic A/W 1990/1991 The Portrait collection, Westwood reprised her beloved Boulle foil for her A/W 1991/1992 Dressing Up collection. This collection also pays homage to the decadence of the 18th century. The swirling acanthus leaves were designed by André-Charles Boulle, cabinet maker to King Louis XIV. The gold foil design was found on the back of a 1713 mirror that once belonged to the Duchess de Berry. Extensively documented, truly a fabulous addition to any collectors archive.
The dress is a wonderful stretch lycra in pearl white. Due to the sheen in the reflective fabric, the shade of white tends to vary from photo to photo. Pale gold shimmers wonderfully. As with all pieces of this collection, gold foil does stretch and crack- an added charm to the livable nature of this collection. Good condition with a few flaws shown in the photographs. Ample stretch.
Labeled a size 2, would fit up to a size 10.
