Incredible Fall 1986 Valentino by the Original Mr. Valentino Black Velvet Dress w Rhinestone Insets designer-stephen-burrows A gorgeous mainline Arnold Scaasi

A gorgeous mainline Arnold Scaasi cocktail dress that is both refined and elegant and sexy at the same time

I love the gold and velvet buttons and the entire thing is lined in a matching red satin

Completely whip stitched

Partially lined with a nude silky rayon (one side of the bust and the front of the skirt) and closes with a back

The skirt is set with a slight gather and the curve of the seam ever so gently curves downward so the illusion os of height and leanness

It was made under the creative direction of the original Mr Valentino. This is an exceptional example of Valentino's work that he was doing during the 1980s. Finding pieces from this time period in such immaculate condition is a rarity and I am very pleased to have this beautiful dress in the shop. In 2022 Sara Sampaio wore one backwards on the red carpet. I love having the red carpet and
