This is am amazing piece and similar to another I have had in the past! At first glance it appears to be a gown but at closer inspection you see that it is a skirted jumpsuit! The attached skirt that sits over the interior jumpsuit is made of a net that has a dot design worked into it. The same netting forms the puffed sleeves. A zipper sits at both the front and back. It's made in a way that I actually had to think on how it should go on the mannequin. Every square inch of the jumpsuit part is covered in glossy black sequins and the the zipped front allows you a full high neck or a super low and sexy plunge. The waist nips in through seaming and it skims the body while the sequins make the entire thing glint and glimmer in the light. The unexpectedness of the jumpsuited legs is just fabulous! Terrific piece in excellent condition and well made as one would expect from Oscar de la Renta!
Except for the sleeves it is fully lined in a black rayon and has a fully zip at the back and a partial zip at the front. Each sleeve has a snap to close. Note that the hem has been let down on each leg for maximum length so each finishes with a ribbon.

Resort 2011 Oscar de la Renta Runway Deep Blue Strapless Silk Dress w Elaborate Ruffled Skirt
I Have a Question
This is one of the prettiest Oscar dresses I have ever had in the shop and I love it. The movement it has when it is on and you walk is just incredible. One appeared on the runway that season for Look 51 and Leah Michelle wore one to the 2010 Emmys. This is the type of dress that made us all fall in love with Oscar and his view on femininity romance and occasion. It's an absolutely stunning piece and I love it's added red carpet modern provenance.
This dress is absolutely dreamy. It is made out of the perfect deep blue silk mixed with shots of a silk chiffon in the same shade. It is strapless and the neck line curves around and over the bus with a bit of a peak on one side. The peak is created by an added layer of silk and you can choose to steam that down, so it's in line with the neckline or wear it up as you see in these photos. The silk is draped over the bust to give the illusion that it's wrapped around you and then a piece extends down from the one side and wraps all the way into the back. Inside it is cupped and shaped for support. Under the added panels of draping it is meant to hug the body and highlight your curves to past the hips to create an hourglass feel. I love how the sea where the skirt is set in is all set on a sharp angle which really gives the illusion of added length through the body. The skirt is spectacular. Here you see the genius of Oscar. The skirt has a ton of volume to it that shows best when you move. It is made out of a cascade of silk ruffles that become wider and more full as they near the hem. It is set slightly longer at the back then the front so that you get this pretty curve from the side view and this fantastic sweep of skirts from the back. The entire skirt is covered with angled rose of silk that spared no generosity in how much fabric was used to create each one. Each one is finished at its edge so that it curls slightly and retains his volume. In between each silk layer of ruffles is a matching blue silk chiffon layer, and those also have finished edges so that they curl as well. There are eight layers in total and then the very inner bottom portion of the skirt is finished with a wide band of concealed stiffened netting that helps to hold the shape and volume of the skirt while adding support to the ruffles above. Inside of that is yet another silk inner skirt, which is also finished with its own wide concealed band of stiffen netting. When this is on and you are walking the effect that this creates is absolutely gorgeous. This is Oscar at his very best and it is a tremendously beautiful dress. Excellent condition
Fully lined in a matching blue silk. It interior corset closes with a zipper at the back and then a second hidden set zipper closes the dress over that. Lightly boned through the inner bodice and built in wire cups. Inner waist stay hooks to close. The dress no longer has a label, but you can see the remnants of its original hanging supports just under the edge of the bodice with the label name on its. It appears to have been worn very little if at all.

Documented Resort 1978 Oscar de la Renta Backless Black Silk & Lace Dress w Full BalloonmSleeves
I Have a Question
Oscar was known for his beautiful and feminine designs and this dress really showcases that. With our modern day obsession with all things eighties and nineties this play on proportions and fabrics still feels extremely of this moment fashion wise. Oscar had an amazing sense of aesthetics and his genius was in making women look and feel beautiful. I love that we found an amazing backstage shot of it from the runway show that let us date it. It is very hard to date his earlier work and its also nice to be able to see it on. It is just an absolutely gorgeous example of his work from this time period.
Three different fabrics were combined to make of this dress and each one becomes a an element of the design. The sleeves are a light weight silk taffeta and that is how they hold their fullness without being heavy. The bodice is done in a black lace for a pretty touch. The skirt is a black silk that has a very fine thin ribbing that runs through it for added texture. The neckline is scooped low and it is set wide across at the front so that it sits on the outer edge of your shoulders. At the back it is scooped so you get an expanse of bare skin. The sleeves are spectacular. They have built in panels of tulle to help hold their shape. They are cut to be every full so that they billow out to just above the elbow. They have elastic running through the edges nearest to the shoulders and this allows you to be able to wear them up and on the shoulder like I have shot them here or you could let them fall off the shoulder to get an even more bare feel. It skims over the bodice to the waist and I love the little lace peplum that sits just under the waist seam. The skirt falls from under that on a beautiful curve to the floor. There is a built-in underskirt made out of a black silk organza that has a wide ruffled bottom. This helps to hold the shape of the outer skirt. The fulness of the skirt moves beautifully when you move. Excellent condition

c 1970 Oscar de la Renta Black Silk Taffeta Backless Halter Neck Dress w Extensive Ruffle Detailing
I Have a Question
I love when I find these earlier examples of Oscar de la Renta's work. He would heave been more personally involved in them and they really showcase the designer he was to become. The label on this dress tells us that it's probably late 60s maybe the first couple years of the 1970s and it seems similar to some of the pieces I've seen from the 1970 season. The dress beautifully showcases the the genius of his work and attention to detail. This is a favourite from him that I've had in the shop
The dress is gorgeous and is made from a beautiful black silk taffeta that holds the shape and volume that this dress has perfectly. The fabric choice also keeps the dress fairly light in weight while giving the dress some structure and shape. The front bodice is stunning. Two shaped triangles cover the front of the bodice, and there is a deep V for the neckline. The triangles extend all the way to the top of the neck and they are finished with a ruffle in the same fabric. This makes that V be a little less apparent and is a pretty detailing as it goes up and around your neck. Ties extend from just behind the peak of each triangle to tie behind the neck. It wraps around the waist and scoops low there. This leaves your entire back open and bare above that. I love this unexpected bare skin moment that is in stark contrast to the coverage at the front. The waist nips in and we have added a wide grosgrain ribbon to add a little more shape. The skirt deserves it own moment. It is made out of the same silk taffeta as the bodice. It explodes out from the waist to become incredibly full by the time it reaches the hem. Tiers of silk allow this expansion and there are five tiers in total. Each tier is finished with that same ruffled detail that you see around the halter neck and this really makes the dress special. Inside there is a silk lining and then another netted lining sits between the outer skirt and that inner layer. This helps to hold the volume that you see and it is spectacular. The photos on the dress form do not come close to doing it justice. This is a dress that needs an actual body in it and then it really comes to life. When you walk the taffeta rustles and the skirt swoops around to create this stunning billowing effect. Then when you turn to leave you have that flash of bare skin at the back. It is utterly amazing. Excellent condition
Fully lined in a layer of silk taffeta and the skirt is lined as described above. The dress closes with a low set zipper at the back. Hand finished throughout. The ribbon at the waist is not original to the dress but will be sent with it
Bust: each triangle covers 8 inches plus there's an inch and a half a ruffle on each side. There's no true side scene.
Waist: 12.5-13.5" flat across from side seam to side seam
Hips: open
Bodice: approx 15" from top of shoulder to waist
Total length: 59" from neck to hem and can be adjusted a bit depending on were you tie the neck

Romantic Fall 2011 Oscar de la Renta Embroidered Lace & Fantasy Tulle Skirt Wedding Dress
I Have a Question
This Oscar de la Renta dress is gorgeous. The Fall 2011 Oscar de la Renta Bridal collection was amazing and this was one of the star looks of the show. His wedding pieces range from about $10000-$20,000 USD with the more elaborate ones like this tending to be in the upper range of that. Oscar launched his first bridal collection in October of 2002 and his wedding pieces have been worn by some of the most famous women in the world. He once said 'In the same manner that she fell in love with that man, I hope she's going to fall in love with that dress.' Countless brides have done just that. This gown is absolutely beautiful and if you are a bride looking for that very full princess feel then this is the ultimate dress for that. It literally takes your breathe away when you see and hold it in person.
The skirt of the dress is magnificent. It is made from many yards of multiple layers of a white tulle silk netting. The strapless bodice above that is a slightly more ivory colour and it is stunning. It is completely covered with tiers of lace and little scalloped silk chiffon rows. I took close ups of the work done there for you to see. The edges of the lace are embroidered and there are tiny curvy rows of ivory iridescent sequins mixed in. If that wasn't enough there are also little rhinestones set in rows over the bodice. The top curves in a pretty sweetheart neckline and it has a full built in hidden corset inside the bodice so you don't have to worry about additional underpinnings. The bust is strapless and fitted across the bodice. It is cut to follow your curves and there are built in hidden cups inside to lift the breasts. It tightly hugs the bodice and then nips in at the waist. The waist is detailed with elaborate appliquéd 'belt' that is made from various faux pearls, silver tube beads and glass cut rhinestones in different shapes. For the runway presentation it was shown with a simple sash and I believe that this was a custom add on. The skirt is extremely full and that beautiful volume would float all around you. There are 12 layers of tulle in the skirt and many of the inner ones have a double hem finish at the bottom. Under all of that there is a silk taffeta inner skirt in a deeper ivory. If you look closely you can see that under the top two layers of tulle the skirt has been gathered up all around in little drapes. This gives it this depth in fullness that is incredible. It's a subtle detail that you can see through those top layers of skirts that is just absolutely genius. I did not add any additional crinolines to the dress for these photos. It has enough built in layers in the skirt already that it falls on its own perfectly. Every angle that you look at this dress from gives you drama and gorgeousness. It is cut longer at the back so that it flows out behind you when you walk. If you wanted even more of a real princes gown feel I think you could have the inner layers starched and you would get even more volume. I love the bareness of the shoulders the strapless silhouette gives you. It is the perfect balance to that full on princess skirt. It is a very stunning gown and is a beautiful example of Oscar's work. Excellent condition with a minor note below
The bodice is boned with padded inner cups for structure and support. The dress closes at the back with a hidden set zipper. Multiple layers of built in tulle and skirting as described above. The edge of the bodice near the arm area has some minor grubbiness and the hem of the inner skirt is grubby and some of the very inner layers of tulle have some marks at their hems and I see the very occasional small tear near the hem. You see none of these once on. It otherwise looks to have been worn very little if at all. Tagged an ODLR 8 but seems to be cut small
