This is really demi-couture and rare examples of Ungaro's work during this time period

The cut is very chic and simple and I love the silk satin shoulder inset

1970s Valentino Cross Back Linen Dress designer-christian-dior This is really demi-couture andClassic Valentino! It is made of a white linen which was a favored fabric and incorporates a wide swath of embroidered lace at its hem again a Valentino signature! I love the cut it slims the body without being overtly tight. The back is left quite bare with a criss cross strap. The seams are all vertical so help add length and leanness. That hem is to die! It is a full 10" wide! Love! Excellent condition This looks like it had a lining at one point
