When I originally received it

Couture level quality and tagged a vintage Alaia size 40

There is a high slit up one leg that shows when you walk or sit

I have this in both black and a taupe-chocolate and I think they are very chic

It is wonderfully traditional in some ways but still feels fresh and modern

Spring 2000 Hanae Mori Haute Couture Forest & Butterfly Print Silk Chiffon Dress & Silk Huge Scarf designer-todd-oldham When I originally received itThis is a rare example of Hanae Mori Haute Couture from the Spring 2000 collection. This dress is an especially interesting couture example because it illustrates how couture pieces are made specifically for the client when they are produced and are not always an exact copy of what was shown on the runway. The dress itself is a sleeveless version of Look 7 from the Spring 2000 runway but the print on the silk was shown in the Fall 1990 Haute Couture
