I Have a Question
This Oscar de la Renta jacket is a production piece based on what was show on the runway that season. The same pattern was used on several pieces in the runway show and I have included reference photos of those so you can see how closely the design on this jacket was carried over.
The jacket is gorgeous and has that classic ODLR feel to it with a touch of exoticism. The workmanship is beautiful and I love how the colors pop off the black velvet back drop. It is cut in a simple boxed shape with the slightest of curving in at the waist. It has no collar, cuffs or hem so that the applique work that has been done on it can take full center stage. The sequin & embroidery work follow the runway presentation almost exactly with a heavy collar and cuffs formed from the sequins done in tightly spaces rows of different colors and patterns. Little cross patterns made of white sequins topped with different colored threads are scattered over the body of the jacket. Down either side of the front edge and in a heavy border all around the bottom hem is more of the dense workmanship. It is gorgeous and even better on person. Excellent condition
Fully lined in a black silk and slips on to wear with no closures. It appears to have never been worn, or worn very little. Hand finishes. Tagged a US6

Dreamy Spring 2012 Oscar de la Renta Runway Look 47 Nude Pink Feather Dress w Silver Thread Flowers Detailing
I Have a Question
- Due to new customs regulations this dress can only ship to a Canadian address
- The twin of this dress walked the runway for the Spring 2012 show.
- It was made under the creative direction of Oscar de la Renta
- On the runway it was styled with a white wrap that sat over the bust and arms and a heavily embellished belt. Once you strip those back and see the dress on its own you realize just how light and pretty the dress is.
- Oscar showed the collection in his new showroom on 42nd street. The space had yet to be fully renovated and this gave the atmosphere a raw edginess and the styling reflected that. Vogue called the evening dresses 'entrance making' and the show felt fresh and new from his work of the past few seasons proceeding this one.
- The dress is made from a pale nude pink silk base covered in netting. Onto this is an extensive floral applique made out of of silver sequins, silver metallic thread and silver lame insets
- The dress is suspended by two little piped silk straps that curve up and over your shoulders. They attached into the peaked fronts of the bodice. Front panels across over each other and then the back has a pretty dip that leaves the upper back bare and exposed.
- It cinches in at the waist and then curves out and over the hips.
- The skirt cascades to the floor from there and is cut slightly longer at the back so that you get a beautiful sweeping feel as you walk away. Onto the skirt is an amazing application of feathers attached onto the top layer of netting. These come up at the front and then widen out to circle all the way around the bottom hem. They curve back upwards at the back. Every feather is stacked and layered over the one underneath. The bottom of the skirt is very full so the combination of the lightness of the silk and netting and the amazing application of feathers create this phenomenal movement when you move.
- The dress is fully lined in a pale pink silk and there is light boning at the sides of the bodice. It closes with a hidden set back zipper. It appears to have been worn very little if at all.

Divine Spring 2010 Oscar de la Renta Bridal Collection Strapless Ruffled Silk Organza, Silk Chiffon & Net Wedding Dress
I Have a Question
- The dress is from the Spring 2010 wedding dress collection.
- It was made under the creative direction of Oscar de la Renta.
- The twin of the dress was used for the ad campaign that season.
- The gown is made out of a pale ivory that combines silk organza and silk chiffon with a silk netting. The colour is very soft and flattering. The fabric itself is very light in weight and it is only the tremendous amount of fabric in the dress that adds any weight. The lightness of all of those layers allow it to move beautifully around you once on.
- The bodice is strapless with a slight curve over the bust. A pretty double layer ruffle made of silk chiffon starts at the very top and then layers of ruffles continue all the way down the entire dress. Inside the bodice there is a full built-in cupped, wired and lightly boned stretch corset to hold everything in place.
- The layers run horizontally over the bust and waist in beautiful bands of silk chiffon that all overlap each other. The edges of each band are left raw so that it adds a touch of texture. It continues down and around the waist. By the top of the hip panels of silk organza that are caught wider start to be interest first in to the bands.
- The ruffles of the skirt start all the way up at the top of the hip and they continue down horizontally all the way to the hem. As you get lower down the skirt, the bands become wider and they start to mix a silk chiffon with a silk organza. This widening of the ruffles coincides with the widening of the lower skirt.
- I love how the volume increases as you go down the dress to give the lower skirts their massive volume and pretty romantic sweep.
- For the very lowest ruffles there is a white netting done in ruffles underneath circling the very bottom hem. Inside there are wide, weighted hymns with stiffening and this is all a clever way to help. Hold the shape around you when you stand and move.
- The back and sides extend out longer than the front so that the entire dress sweeps around and behind you beautifully.
- As beautiful as it looks in the photos this is a dress that is even better in person once moving and on an actual body.
- I love that they have made the little straps that you hang the dress on a hanger with out of a wite ribbon with the ODLR in a beautiful soft pale blue that instantly gives you a "something blue" already built into the dress.
- There is a full built-in corset that zips with its own zipper and has a inner waist stay that hooks to close. The dress is lined in a silk under that and there is an inner skirt supporting the volume of the skirt. The inner layer of the skirt is finished with stiffening around its hem to help hold the shape and volume. It closes with a back hidden set zipper. I see a bit of grubbiness along the very edge of the inner hem here and there. I think that is just from hitting the floor as it was hung in the past. It is very minor but mentioned for accuracy.The colour is slightly more ivory in person.

Dreamy Pre-Fall 2015 Oscar de la Renta Look 36 Metallic Gold Applique & Ivory Net Dress
I Have a Question
- The twin of this dress was the final look on the runway for the Pre-Fall 2015 collection.
- It was made under the creative direction of Oscar de la Renta.
- Vogue noted in their review "Pre-Fall 2015 was the last collection he (Oscar de la Renta) had a hand in designing. The house's new creative director, Peter Copping, advised the studio a bit on how to finish it after de la Renta's death in October but this wasn't his debut. Copping sat in the front row taking it all in as a bystander." They continue the review saying, "How does one review a collection like this—one that operates not as a swan song, not as an homage, but as a coda to a great career, now definitively over? On its merits, of course. And though these clothes didn't serve to turn the fashion dial in any way, they manifested the soigné de la Renta signature in spades....It spoke loudest in the collection's clutch of cocktail frocks and gowns, particularly the champagne-toned finale gowns with allover gold or silver embellishment."
- This would make an amazing wedding dress for the bride looking for a non-traditional choice or as an alternative dress in a more extended wedding celebration.
- The dress is made from a fine ivory net that is covered in beautiful curving gold metallic appliques that form flowers and pretty patterns over the entire surface of the dress.
- Each individual applique is made from a pale, muted silver-gold lame fabric sewn that is embroidered all the way around its edges. The lame has a slight vertical ribbing that combines the gold and silver thread and this adds a beautiful texture. I love how they catch the light in a subtle way from every angle. In person the dress has a more metallic and gold feel then how it photographed here.
- It sits wide across the front and the straps are set to the edge of the shoulder. The bodice curves up and over your shoulders and then at the back it falls in a V for a bit of bare skin to show. All of the edges follow the curving pattern of the applique and I love this little romantic touch.
- There is an inner lining inside the bodice that has a sweetheart neckline shape to it and then the netting has a touch of transparency above that. It skims over you from there, past the waist to the seam that sits at the top of the hip.
- From there the skirt explodes outwards in two tiers. Underneath each tier is a layer of tulle and then another layer of netting under that. The second layer has a stiffened edge to help hold the shape of the skirting. Inside the skirt there is a built-in underskirt that has multiple rows of that same stiffened fabric so it holds the volume that you see in the photos. I have added no extra crinolines underneath the dress to take these photos. All of the volume that you see is all built into the dress already.
- The dress is cut shorter at the front and then the back is cut so that it trails out behind you past the floor. The lightness of the tulle and netting allows the dress to billow out around you when you walk.
- This is dress that feels like a fairy tale come true once it is on the body.
- The skirt is fully lined in layers of tulle and netting as described above. The bodice has an inner layer of silk and netting. The dress closes with a hidden set back zipper. It appears to have never been worn or worn very little.

Incredible 1990s Oscar de la Renta Fine Black Lace Dress w Full Ruffled Skirt
I Have a Question
- An inner waste state hooks to close. There's no there is no size tag present so please go by the measurements listed below.An absolutely incredible piece from the 1990s.
- Made under the creative direction of Oscar de la Renta
- This might be one of my favourite dresses I have had in the shop. The photos do not do it full justice and it is only when you see it in person that you realize just how beautiful it is.
- It is made out of a fine black lace. The lace completely covers the dress and I would be astounded to know how many yards of lace went into making this dress.
- The inner bodice is strapless and meant to be fitted. It is lined in a fine tissue silk and boned for support. An outer layer of lace covers the bodice and forms tiny cap sleeves. I love how this lets the upper shoulders and shoulders feel unlined so you get a peak of skin through it.
- The inner back scoops down with that a single layer of lace exterior covering you. It is very elegant but still feels very sexy.
- The waist nips in and then the dress glides over the hips to falls to the floor.
- Inside there are three layers of silk organza. Two black layers directly under the lace and then nude innermost layer. The two innermost layers both have wide bands of stiffening around the hem and the layer that sits directly under the lace has three stacked stiffened bands going up the skirt. This is what helps to hold the incredible shape and volume that you see.
- The skirt is extremely full and has so many yards of lace in its construction. The volume that you see was all created by the sheer amount of fabric, the cut and the seven lace tiers that run over the entire lower portion of the skirt.
- I love the tiers of lace that cover the lower part of the skirt. Each is set to slightly overlap the next one down. No expense was spared on the lace in the dress. Even the area between the tiers are finished with lace despite that fact that you can’t see them. Each tier's lace is set to that the edges are scalloped to follow the pattern and shape of the designs in the lace. I took a photo where I hold the skirt up on one side and this will give you an idea of the amount of yardage the skirt has. It is incredible.
- The inner construction of this dress is as good as the exterior and it is made close to a demi-couture level.
- It closes with a back zipper where the inner corset starts. The neck hooks to close and there is a keyhole between. Boned through the bodice. An inner waist state hooks to close.
- There is no there is no size tag present so please go by the measurements listed below.

1980s Oscar de la Renta Iridescent Silk Taffeta Blue Coat or Dress w beaded Frog Knots
I Have a Question
- Made under the creative direction of Oscar de la Renta
- This can be worn as a coat or a dress
- It is made out of a stunning iridescent blue silk taffeta. The fabric choice keeps it light in weight but also holds the lines and shape.
- Big balloon sleeves with cuffs detailed with pleat work
- The body of the piece is cut loose and easy.
- It closes down the front with incredible oversized frog knots that are completely beaded. Another knot sits on the back.
- There are pockets on each side and the bottom portion of the piece is incredibly full and open.
- Fully lined in the same blue silk taffeta as the exterior
- It has a wide inner elastic waist corset that wraps around the inner waist and hooks into place
- It closes down the front with the frog knots and a series of hidden hooks and hidden silk covered snaps.
- Shallow pockets along each hip and light padding in each shoulder
- Excellent condition with some teeny marks and teeny breaks along the very edge of the hem and the front. These make no impact but are mentioned for accuracy.
