In Valentino Garavani's signature red, this wool gabardine dress has a strong '80s 'power dress vibe'. Slightly military in demeanor, yet definitely cut to accentuate one's curves. Has a placket down the front with nine bright gold 'V' buttons from the neck to the just shy of the hem. Patch breast pockets, top-stitched contoured waistband, and three more buttons on each sleeve. With a straight, pencil skirt, the cut is feminine, and a knock-out without being ostentatious. The bodice is unlined, with the skirt is lined in red acetate. Bust measures 42", waist 30", hip 40", shoulder to shoulder 17", sleeve 23.5", total length 39". Excellent condition  $195
