Constructed with finely accordion-pleated fabric in a rich violet-purple hue, the dress falls from a straight bandeau neckline into a dramatically expansive silhouette that floats away from the body before terminating in an exaggerated flounced hem. The textile is animated by an abstract print of ivory linear markings, geometric strokes, and subtle tonal floral motifs, creating a layered visual rhythm across the pleated surface. Combining architectural volume with remarkable lightness and movement, the design reflects Cardin’s continued exploration of shape as an independent element of fashion, transforming a simple columnar form into a bold statement of haute couture innovation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: Gently Worn with no obvious damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eItem: #\u003c\/span\u003e128317\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pierre Cardin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43863051927618,"sku":"128317","price":1598.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0168\/6608\/files\/128317f.jpg?v=1781627364","url":"https:\/\/vintagemartini.com\/products\/1989-haute-couture-pleated-silk-party-dress-size-4","provider":"MARTINI CONSIGNMENT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
