About the Item

This couture lace transparent red-and-black floral-pattern silk sleeveless evening midi dress, with an eyelash-trimmed Chantilly lace boatneck and hem, is constructed with torso tucks above and below horizontal black tulle bands, while one of the four stripes defines its empire waistline. The sheath gown fastens in back with a long zip and hook-and-eye hardware. It was acquired from a NYC-based fashion collector who had this dress custom-made for her in the mid-1990s by a recent FIT graduate, whose former eponymous brand was later sold at Barney's New York. The collector was a U.S-size 4 when fitted for the dress, while it could fit a size 6 with small bust, waist and hips.

VivienneWestwood 1998 CorsetStyle MarilynMonroe Velvet Moire Red Cocktail Dress
By Vivienne Westwood Gold Label, Vivienne Westwood
Located in Chicago, IL
Vivienne Westwood (1941-2022) designed this corset-style hourglass-shaped blood-red velvet evening cocktail dress with its outsized double bow and sheer moire faux-underlay while producing her "Dressed To Scale" collection in 1998 with then-decade-long protege Andreas Kronthaler. A design from this collection set a Westwood-clothing auction record at Christie's London when a corseted silk gown fetched over $41,000. This fresh interpretation of the classic Marilyn-Monroe silhouette was dubbed the "MM Corset Dress" for Westwood's semi-couture Gold Label, while it can still be made-to-measure as a bespoke dress (see photo of model wearing version as a white wedding gown...
