About the Item
Elevate your vintage wardrobe with this delightful Italian dress from the 1980s, crafted in a warm cocoa brown cotton blend that softly catches the light. Defined by a voluminous balloon skirt that gently cinches at the waist, the silhouette nods to playful femininity while maintaining a refined presence.
The dress features short sleeves and a clean, scoop neckline that balances the full skirt with minimal elegance. At the back, a unique open panel closes with a dramatic self-tie bow-adding a sculptural, romantic accent and an unexpected detail that enhances its allure.
Beautifully constructed with precise gathering at the waist and a well-structured bodice, this dress blends Italian tailoring with a touch of youthful charm. Perfect for collectors of rare European vintage or lovers of sculptural silhouettes with timeless appeal.
Please note: The photos showing the scoop neckline at the front were taken during a fitting - the neckline is actually meant to be worn at the back.

Vivetta elegant floral pattern cocktail dress
Located in Milano, IT
Romantic dress with universal and classic irony . The dress features nostalgic references such as flowers that blend with contemporary shapes and preppy silhouettes to create fresh collections full of fantasy. Her designs are inspired by her love of animals, especially cats, happy memories and stories from her childhood. Vivetta channels the charm of vintage toys, antiques and wall hangings into poetic collections with a surrealist twist. Her creations are ideas in motion that reference designers from different artistic disciplines: From Italian legends Gio Ponti and Fornasetti, to the Art Deco works of Erté, Luigi Serani's illustrations, Slim's photographs and Pablo Picasso's masterpieces. Vivetta's dreamlike drawings move to the sounds of Marianne Faithfull and Connan Mockasin, Catherine Deneuve and the Nouvelle Vague. Experimental animated films from the 1960s and 1970s and references to the creative minds of Norman McLaren...
