Spring 1990 Giorgio di Sant Angelo Pink Stretch Bodysuit & Skirt

These net dresses and separates are among the most coveted of all Giorgio Sant Angelo's designs. They are almost impossible to find anymore and are much prized by their fans when one appears. Out of all the bandage and fitted dress out there over the decades these stand out as being some of the very best. This one is from the Spring 1990 collection and pieces were sold separately once they hit the stores so you could mix and match. You can see here in the runway pictures the various ways that the different pieces were worn.

This is a two piece set that is extremely stretchy and once on it is body conscious to the extreme. Both pieces are made out of a top layer of a fine stretch netting in a very bright and vibrant pink. Under that is a stretch jersey layer in an almost neon tangerine colour that acts as the lining. The bodysuit is cut like a bathing suit that you just pull on to wear and then you step and pull the skirt on over that. The gathered mesh allows you to make the skirt as high up the thigh as you dare or leave is as long as it will extend down. At its full length it will go to about mid-thigh or just below depending on your height. At it shortest you can hike it up to be micro mini in length. Both pieces are gathered heavily along the sides for extra ruching and the bodysuit has an extremely high side cut at the legs. I love that when you wear them together it looks like it is a one piece dress because of the gatherings on both pieces. You can also choose to mix and match them with other things in your closet. It is amazing and looks to have never been worn or worn very little. Excellent condition.

Both pieces slip on to wear. They are almost impossible to measure as it literally will stretch to fit up and down. The measurements below are the relative measurements when laid flat and pulled. They will accommodate a range of sizes when off the body they look like something a child would wear, but they stretch.
