1990s Alaia Red Knitted Body Con Dress

£895.00
This red knitted mini dress is from the renowned 1991 collection and completely emblematic of Azzadine Alaia's sleek and heavily seamed bodycon styles. It features long sleeves and a pointed collar with five buttons, which of course can be unbuttoned to create a deep V. The shaping on the waist and bust creates a very flattering shape, with seams running across the front and vertically from the waist. The mixed blend fabric itself has a lovely weight to it and is quite thick, in a bold scarlet red colour. In superb vintage condition with no visible stains or marks - it looks barely worn.

Labelled an XS and with a good amount of stretch; this dress would best fit a 6-8 UK or 2-4 US. Our model is an XS.

F.A.Q.

Will you set anything aside for me before I come?

We are happy to find anything you may be interested in from our website. We have an extensive offline collection. It is helpful if you can let us know your size, style, favourite colour to wear and perhaps your budget in advance of your appointment.
Do I need to bring anything with me?

Clients may wish to bring modern shapewear. You may also wish to bring favourite footwear. We often find a classic pair of nude shoes work well when trying-on, or gold and silver. We have a huge variety of slip dresses and petticoats to complete your look. Many of which are also for sale.
Do you have a price range?

Many of our lower priced pieces, under £250, are not available to buy online. Dresses usually start at £150 and go up to £30,000 for the very best archival couture. Our bridalwear price points range from £1,000 to £20,000.
Can I bring anyone with me?

Yes but please do let us know the size of your party in advance.
Where can I get alterations?

We offer some alterations in house. Should you need alterations we cannot provide, we can refer you to one of our tried and trusted tailors.
Do you have an after-care service?
