VALENTINO BOUTIQUE - 1980s Orange Silk Stripe & Feather Dress, Size4

A beautiful vintage Valentino Boutique dress featuring a richly textured, semi-sheer fabric woven with shimmering vertical metallic stripes. The fitted bodice has a softly rounded neckline and long sleeves, framed by dramatic bands of tonal orange feathers sweeping over the shoulders and upper chest. Small gold heart-shaped ornaments appear to drip from the feathers, adding a whimsical, romantic touch. Rows of button closures descend from the shoulders on either side of the center front, creating a distinctive vertical detail through the bodice. A self-tie sash defines the waist and falls into a softly gathered, fluid skirt, creating an elegant columnar silhouette. The combination of shimmering texture, cascading feathers, gold heart details, and dramatic button closures gives this Valentino Boutique creation a wonderfully glamorous and theatrical quality.
