Description

long sleeve backless dress Incredible Fall 1998 Guy Laroche by Alber Elbaz Runway Black Jersey Re – Shrimpton CoutureThe twin of the dress walked the runway for the Fall 1998 Guy Laroche collection It was made under the creative direction of Alber Elbaz. Alber was at Laroche from 1996 to 1998. The final collection that he designed was the Spring 1999 show and then he moved to YSL Rive Gauche directly after. This dress is an obvious take reissue on the famous 1972 Laroche designed by Guy and worn by Mireille Darc in the film 'The Tall Blond Man With One Black Shoe'.

  • The twin of the dress walked the runway for the Fall 1998 Guy Laroche collection
  • It was made under the creative direction of Alber Elbaz.
  • Alber was at Laroche from 1996 to 1998. The final collection that he designed was the Spring 1999 show and then he moved to YSL Rive Gauche directly after.
  • This dress is an obvious take / reissue on the famous 1972 Laroche designed by Guy and worn by Mireille Darc in the film 'The Tall Blond Man With One Black Shoe'.
  • The dress is made out of a soft black jersey that is a mix of wool and silk. This makes it extremely comfortable to wear. It also gives it a slight touch of modernity from the original. 
  • Like the original it has that deeply plunging and open back. The opening on this version goes right to the top of the neck instead of closing at the back of the neck like the original.
  • The front neck is scooped and sits high up on the neck. The shoulders are soft and the sleeves are long. I love how he added a flared cuff to the ends of each sleeve instead of keeping them tight and fitted. It gives the dress a slightly more fluid feel.
  • It skim over the bust and waist with simple darts, adding shape around the bust area. The jersey makes it very easy to fit because it has some stretch.
  • From there it curves back out over the hip and falls to the floor. The bottom flares out quite a bit to pick up on the flare of the sleeves. There is an inset triangle of panel at the back to give it more flare.
  • The back is fully open and the scoop is deep. This is intentional and meant to have that same shocking effect that the original dress had. Even knowing of the original dress, it still felt shocking when it was seen on the runway. I don't think it's quite as deep as the runway version but it's really dependent on your height and length of your torso. I have provided the measurement from the neck to the base of the scoop below.
  • This is an incredibly rare dress and you may not see one again. I love the double dose of fashion history that this one has with the tie in with the original, as well as being an early piece of Alber's work, plus the documentation on the runway. A collectors dream.
  • The dress is unlined and slips on to wear with no closures. The black jersey has some stretch and I have put the comfortable range of measurements below. Its easy fit and stretch should allow it to fit a range of sizes. It appears to have been worn very little, if at all.

I like the style, fit, and quality of these tank shirts.
Color: Hot Pink, Size: Large
I absolutely love these tanks!!! They are very light and comfortable to wear anytime/ anywhere. I have bought lots of colors to mix and match my wardrobe. I'm 5'4" tall and weigh around 135 lbs. I normally wear a medium, but I am a busty girl, so I chose the large size instead. I'm happy with my choice. I wouldn't size up, if you are planning to buy, unless you have a bigger bust like myself. Then I would recommend sizing up. It can be worn either by itself or with a light jacket, vest, or cardigan sweater with a skirt/ slacks/ jeans/ whatever you fancy. This style tank can be worn for a casual occasion, lounging around your home, or can be paired for a fancier event depending on what you wear it with. Love that! I wash mine in cold, with like colors. Then hang dry so my tanks will last. These tanks have held their color nicely after several washes later. As long as I take care of them, I know they'll last. I prefer this seller when I buy various color tanks and styles because the fit and quality are a great value to me. These tanks don't feel cheap, ultra- thin, and are not see through like others. Go for it if your on the fence to try it! I don't think you'll regret it!

very happy with this purchase!
Color: Khaki, Size: Small, Color: Khaki, Size: Small
The ANRABESS Women’s Sleeveless High Neck Tank Top is a great wardrobe staple! The fabric is comfortable, soft, and lightweight, making it perfect for layering or wearing on its own. It has a flattering high-neck design that looks polished and pairs easily with shorts, jeans, skirts, or dressier pieces. For sizing reference, I’m wearing a size small, and I found it to fit true to size. It has a comfortable fit without being too tight or too loose and holds its shape well throughout the day. Versatile, comfortable, and easy to style. I’m very happy with this purchase!

Perfect fit and Style
Color: Black, Size: Large
LOVE THESE TANKS. The material is stretchy, durable and not see through, it’s a longer fit so it doesn’t stop at the waist and has a small curve cut at the waist area. Perfect for layering as the neck is high and also makes for good coverage for those who are bustier like myself. I ordered A large AND ordered four different colors as they are a great price.

Good basic tanktop
Color: White, Size: Small
The material feels really nice and soft to the touch. It’s great as a basic tank top for everyday wear, especially during hot weather. 🌤️ The fit is flattering and shapes the body well without feeling too tight. Simple, comfortable, and easy to match with anything!
