This fabulous little Ungaro top has a gorgeous design in the way that it wraps to close. The entire front of the top crosses over itself to button along the side seam with a series of tightly spaced buttons and loops. Inside it buttons into place to ensure that it sits perfectly. Along the edge of that cross over front, the fabric has been flat pleated to give a nice contrast to the elaborate print that covers the silk. The sleeves are cut in a modified version of the traditional 'Leg of Mutton' sleeve where the sleeve is very wide and full on the upper part of it and then tapers down as it nears the wrist. The top is made from a scarf weight silk that has a gorgeous print covering its entire surface. The body of the top is cut loose and easy as it falls from the padded shoulders. I love the high collar that is designed to stand up to frame the neck. This one came with a matching long silk tie in the same fabric that you can use around the neck like I have, or even as a belt to cinch in the waist. It's all drama and high eighties glamour. Excellent condition.
Unlined and buttons at the side and has one button inside. Each cuff zips to close. Strongly padded shoulders and matching silk tie. It would be an easy job to move the inner button to get the perfect fit as needed. The loose cut should fit a variety of sizes.

Dreamy Fall 2008 Ungaro by Esteban Cortazar Runway Look 18 Printed Chiffon Backless Halter Dress
I Have a Question
- The twin of this dress walked the runway for the Fall 2008 Emanuel Ungaro collection.
- It was made under the creative direction of Esteban Cortazar.
- Estaban headed the label from 2007 to 2009, succeeding Peter Dundas. He was only 23 when he began there.
- He brought a softer look to the label and you can clearly see that in this dress. On the runway this dress was shown with a wide belt. And you could certainly add one if you wanted to add some more shape but I love it just on its own as shown here.
- The dress is made out of a printed silk chiffon with a soft, pale, grey tone, floral pattern worked over at surface. The silk is interspersed with silvery toned pale grey panels of jersey that help shape the direction of the fabric and add some structure to create the way the dress falls over the body.
- A band of fabric wraps around the neck and then extends out into long ties that fall down the back in the most beautiful way.
- At the front the silk is gathered into the band at the neck and then sweeps down and around to the back.
- This leaves the sides partially exposed and the entire back from the waist up is left completely open and bare. Only the ties that extend from the back of the neck break the bareness of the skin there. It feels soft and feminine yet very sexy at the same time.
- The waist is seamed and the front halter blouses over the seam. Under that the skirt curves out and over the hips and then sweeps down to the floor.
- The jersey panels are set in curving angles down one side of the dress with the silk set so they blouse slightly over the jersey insets. This perfectly ties the way the top blouses over at the waist and creates a pretty detailing all the way down the skirt.
- The very lower portion of the skirt is quite full and moves beautifully as you move. You can see that in the reference runway video here.
- It is a very romantic and beautiful feeling dress.
- The dress is fully lined in a pale grey silk chiffon through the bodice and stretch pale grey jersey through the skirt. It closes with a hidden set zipper and snaps along the back waist. It appears to have been worn very little if at all.
- There is no size tag present so please go by the measurements listed below
- Excellent condition
Bust: very flexible and open to most sizes
Waist: 13" flat across from side seam to side seam
Hips: 17-21" flat across from side seam to side seam
Bodice: approx 18" from neck to waist but will drape over

Gorgeous Fall 2003 Ungaro by Giambattista Valli One Shoulder Printed Silk Chiffon Dress w Trailing Panel
I Have a Question
- This is from the Fall 2003 Emanuel Ungaro runway collection
- It was made under the creative direction of Giambattista Valli.
- After stints at ZCapucci, Fendi and Krizia, Valli kanded at Ungaro where he headed their RTW and Couture lines from 1998 to 2004 before launchung his own label in 2005.
- The details on this dress are amazing. It is completely cut on the bias so really needs to be on the body to fully come to life but even on the dress form you can see how gorgeous it is.
- The dress is made from printed silk used for the main portion of the dress and this is combined with a silk chiffon panel with the same print that runs down from one shoulder.
- The print on the silk is done in soft pastel blues, purples and pinks on an ivory backdrop. Onto that are little gold glitter fused onto the leafs and flowers on both of the fabrics.
- The dress is completely cut on the bias so it does have give once on the body. The silk used is feather light so feels magical once on.
- The dress is gathered up and into one shoulder and then it simply drapes and skims over the bust, waist and hips. It has beautiful seam work that subtly shapes it over the body and adds shape once it is on.
- Once it curves over the hip it flares back out as it nears the hem. This allows pretty movement around you as you move.
- Attached to the top of the single shoulder is a long panel of silk chiffon that is lightly pleated and widens out substantially as it nears the floor. It is cut to go to the hem of the dress and creates a beautiful movement around and behind you as you move.
- The dress is fully lined in an ivory chiffon and it slips on with no closures. The bias cut does allow for some movement so I have given the comfortable range of measurements when the dress below. It appears to have been worn very little if at all.
- Tagged a vintage Ungaro 34.

Fabulous Spring 1985 Emanuel Ungaro Haute Couture Runway Black Stripe Jacket & Skirt Set
I Have a Question
- This is original Haute Couture who's twin walk the runway for Spring 1985.
- The suit was made under the creative direction of Emanuel Ungaro.
- This would have been completely made by hand in the Paris atelier.
- This is a stunning two piece set done in a black on black stripe woven directly into on a fine wool / silk mix feeling fabric.
- The jacket is a classic cut of his from this time period. It features wider set strong shoulders and is meant to feel more oversized through the upper bodies.
- The entire lower portion of the jacket wraps around and over to one size creating this phenomenal dropped waist detailing that adds incredible detail all around the lower portion of the jacket.
- The front wraps over itself and hooks and snaps into place on one side at the top of the hip. There is no collar so you have a very clean feel to the upper bodice. The draping that happens around the hips is what adds all of the drama to the jacket.
- The shape at the lower front portion of the jacket is achieved by the gathering of the fabric along the side of the sea, and then into a ruffle at the front that hides where it snaps into place. This is what gives you that brilliant shape and that fantastic flare at the side. It is the kind of detail you look for in a couture piece.
- The sleeves are full through the upper arm and they come down to a more narrow cuff. The entire lower portion of the sleeve is detailed with six round gold toned, filigree buttons that have black rhinestone set into them for a little added glitz. Hidden under the buttons are a row of silk covered snapped that you can use to bring the wrist in further.
- The skirt has a band at the waist and then it is cut in a slim pencil shape to just past the knee depending on your height. A panel wraps over the front of the skirt to give the illusion of a wrapped finish that picks up on the wrap of the jacket.
- Both pieces are fully lined in a handset black silk. The jacket hooks and snaps. to close. There is an inner attached waist stay that hooks to close. The button on the sleeves are decorative with head and snaps underneath of them as photoed. The skirt closes at the side with a zipper and hooks at the waist. The shoulders have padding. All of the hand work is to Haute Couture standards throughout.
- There is no size tag present so please go by the measurements listed below
- Excellent condition
