An extraordinary 1980s Jean Paul Gaultier gown in layers of black tulle, balancing a fitted upper silhouette with an exaggerated, voluminous skirt. It has the theatrical quality Gaultier is known for.
The body is made with a lustrous jersey fabric, while the sleeves are contrasted with a warm cable-knit. Around the waist, there's an asymmetric oversized waist tie.
Gaultier has always played with the tension between traditionally feminine dress and subversive, unexpected silhouettes, and this gown is a beautiful example. Wear it with pointed heels and minimal jewelry for an evening look, or lean fully into the drama for a wedding or black-tie occasion.
This dress is in good vintage condition, with some minor signs of wear consistent with its age. There is slight wear under the left arm and along the left side of the tie. The sleeves also show some minor pilling. These imperfections are subtle and not noticeable unless closely inspected.
