This Valentino is very similar to the work he was doing for the 1977 season that was so beautifully captured by Deborah Turbeville for the Fall campaign. I have included several reference photos of the similar gowns from the Haute Couture season that year and you can see how this one would have evolved form those for the boutique line

The dress is made from a feather light silk crepe chiffon in his signature shade of red. The fabric choice allows for the sense of airiness that the dress has once it is on and that beautiful shape. The bodice is strapless and is kept very simple with a straight across cut and inner boning on the sides so it stays on place. Two rows of those silk ruffles run around it and they are set so that just a few inches at the waist is left to be seen. This gives you some shape through the waist and keep the dress from being one solid column of nothing but ruffles. The skirt falls to the floor from there, gradually widening out as it nears the hem. Here the ruffles take center stage and fully cover the skirt in horizontal rows that slightly overlap each other. These run fully down the length of the skirt from waist to hem. The lightness of the silk allows them to move with the slightest bit of movement on your part. The effect that this creates is wonderful. It is a beautiful and romantic dress and showcases the best of Valentino's work. Excellent condition with one minor note below

Fully lined in a red silk and closes with a back metal and nylon zipper. Light boning in the sides of the bodice. I see one very faint mark on one ruffle to the side of the waist at the front. Please review the photo after the label shot. Note the back will close completely on the right sized frame. It was just a touch small on my dress form.

Feel that flex without feeling that rubbery texture.
Size: 36W x 30L, Color: Black
These fit great! The texture isn't wuite like denim, more like a soft tablecloth, but that's quite alright. They have a flex that I need. Sometimes with "slim fit" stretch jeans, I feel a bit restrained in my thighs, this time, instead of ordering my usual size, I went up a notch. I can just wear a belt if I need to. I can fully articulate my legs in this set, in the stretchiness doesn't feel like weird rubbery velvet. They look good, they feel good. I imagine they'll last a bit longer than some of my other stretch jeans that had spandex or whatever in them.

Good work pants
Not too bad, but the material is thin. The fit is perfect, exactly what I ordered. I will use them for errands and working around the house.

Stretchy Comfort
Size: 34W x 30L, Color: Dark Blue
Jeans were as described and quite stretchy which makes for a good fit. The size was as described. The quality was as good as the Big Box Stores for less money. The material is thinner than traditional western style baggy jeans but should still wear well. Nice traditional blue jeans color.
