DVF dresses are the perfect dress to take you from day to office and are appropriate for almost any event or occasion that may arise

The exterior is otherwise remarkably sound and in great shape

There is a open slit from the top of the neck to where the zipper begins

Natasha Poonawala and Lotta Kaijarvi all wore the twin or versions of the one I have here on various red carpets both that year and in years since

I love this little detail as it adds an unexpected touch of skin at the sides but in a very elegant way

Dreamy Spring 1984 Lanvin by Jules-Francois Crahay Runway Red Linen & Black Dress w Open Bow Back Tops DVF dresses are the perfectI just had the near twin of the dress in the shop a couple of months ago and I am very pleased to find this version so quickly. It is a stunning dress and shows the softer, more romantic side of Lanvin from this time period. This was designed by Jules Francois Crahay, who headed the Lanvin ateliers from 1964 1984. In the book Lanvin by Rizzoli, there is a lovely forward from Alber Elbaz, that noted that the Spring 1984 was Crahay's last RTW collection
