Evening dress made of high-density fine knit, dating from the late 1970s to early 1980s. This piece stands out for its high technical complexity pattern, characteristic of transitional European fashion, where the upper volume is balanced with a fitted skirt.

History of the object: The design features a 'dolman' or batwing sleeve silhouette, an aesthetic that dominated high-end fashion in the 70s for its natural draping capability. The cuffs feature faceted crystal (rhinestone) jewel buttons mounted on a metal structure, an ornamental detail typical of the period's artisan tailoring.
