About the Item

Very rare, Ann Demeulemeester Spring 1994 runway dress in a combination of taupe linen and ramie with a printed marbled blush linen skirt. The taupe fabric has a subtle sheen that catches the light beautifully, while the skirt's seemingly effortless drape is the result of an ingenious internal construction. A series of buttoned straps hidden inside the dress allow the skirt to be gathered and arranged in several different ways, creating adjustable volume and sculptural folds. An exceptional early runway design that showcases Ann Demeulemeester's mastery of cut, draping, movement, and thoughtful construction. Belgian size 40 which best fits a US 6 to 8. Approximate measurements: shoulders 14.5", bust 37.5", waist 30" and overall length is adjustable however it is photographed at 59". Fabric content: 55% linen and 45% ramie and 100% linen. Made in Belgium. Button closure at front bodice as well as an invisible hidden zipper at side. Good condition.
