Incredible 1990s Oscar de la Renta Fine Black Lace Dress w Full Ruffled Skirt

  • An inner waste state hooks to close. There's no there is no size tag present so please go by the measurements listed below.An absolutely incredible piece from the 1990s. 
  • Made under the creative direction of Oscar de la Renta 
  • This might be one of my favourite dresses I have had in the shop. The photos do not do it full justice and it is only when you see it in person that you realize just how beautiful it is.
  • It is made out of a fine black lace. The lace completely covers the dress and I would be astounded to know how many yards of lace went into making this dress.
  • The inner bodice is strapless and meant to be fitted. It is lined in a fine tissue silk and boned for support. An outer layer of lace covers the bodice and forms tiny cap sleeves. I love how this lets the upper shoulders and shoulders feel unlined so you get a peak of skin through it.
  • The inner back scoops down with that a single layer of lace exterior covering you. It is very elegant but still feels very sexy.
  • The waist nips in and then the dress glides over the hips to falls to the floor.
  • Inside there are three layers of silk organza. Two black layers directly under the lace and then nude innermost layer. The two innermost layers both have wide bands of stiffening around the hem and the layer that sits directly under the lace has three stacked stiffened bands going up the skirt. This is what helps to hold the incredible shape and volume that you see.
  • The skirt is extremely full and has so many yards of lace in its construction. The volume that you see was all created by the sheer amount of fabric, the cut and the seven lace tiers that run over the entire lower portion of the skirt.
  • I love the tiers of lace that cover the lower part of the skirt. Each is set to slightly overlap the next one down. No expense was spared on the lace in the dress. Even the area between the tiers are finished with lace despite that fact that you can’t see them. Each tier's lace is set to that the edges are scalloped to follow the pattern and shape of the designs in the lace. I took a photo where I hold the skirt up on one side and this will give you an idea of the amount of yardage the skirt has. It is incredible.
  • The inner construction of this dress is as good as the exterior and it is made close to a demi-couture level.
  • It closes with a back zipper where the inner corset starts. The neck hooks to close and there is a keyhole between. Boned through the bodice. An inner waist state hooks to close.
  • There is no there is no size tag present so please go by the measurements listed below.
