1990s-2000s Christian Lacroix Black Silk Chiffon Trained Dress w Ivory Slip designer-luis-estevez The skirt is beautifully cut

The skirt is beautifully cut  it has a more fitted feel but with extra fabric and detail at the back that gives just a hint of a bustle and flirty kick

I adore the details on this dress - the entire bodice and skirt are detailed with tiny flat knife pleats

This makes it an interesting little dress on several levels

1990s-2000s Christian Lacroix Black Silk Chiffon Trained Dress w Ivory Slip designer-luis-estevez The skirt is beautifully cutChristian LaCroix launched his Haute Couture house in 1987 and was instantly adored and revered. A ready to wear line soon followed along with perfumes and menswear. His collections are always an exotic, lavish affair and his inspirations spanned the decades with their eccentric, exotic glamour. His atelier closed in 2009. This dress is from the late 1990s early 2000s. I love it in all it's signature Lacroix drama. The beautiful bias cut on this dress
