Description: This exceptional Pierre Cardin haute couture piece exemplifies the designer's innovative approach to fabric manipulation. The dress features a striking green and brown horizontal striped pattern rendered in finely pleated silk, creating dimensional texture and visual movement. The babydoll silhouette showcases an off-the-shoulder neckline with delicate bow-detailed straps and voluminous long sleeves—hallmarks of Cardin's avant-garde design philosophy. The loose, flowing construction offers both comfort and sophisticated elegance, while the plissé technique demonstrates the meticulous craftsmanship expected of haute couture. A remarkable example of 1980s designer fashion that captures the era's bold aesthetic sensibility.

Condition: Gently Worn with no obvious damage. The skirt was shortened at some point.
