About the Item

Extremely rare jet black velvet dress by Jacqueline de Ribes, dating to the 1980's. The silhouette is refined yet playful, with a fitted bodice and softly flared skirt cut from rich velvet. Sheer tulle sleeves add lightness and contrast, embroidered with delicate flocked dots and finished at the wrists with covered buttons and small satin bows. The cuffs are edged with frothy tulle ruffles, lending a dramatic finish. Cleverly concealed pockets are placed within the side seams, an unexpected and luxurious detail. Sheer triangular insets at the shoulders and back create subtle transparency against the structured velvet. Its intricate details and careful construction highlight the couture-level quality of the piece, capturing Jacqueline de Ribes’ distinctive vision and sophistication in eveningwear design. No size label. This dress best fits a US size 4-6. Approximate measurements are: shoulder 14", bust 34-35", waist 28", and length 40". Zips up center back and wrists secure with velvet covered buttons. Fully lined in silk. Hidden pockets at hips. Made in France. Very good condition.
