Incredible 1980s Valentino Haute Couture Pale Blue Silk Chiffon Dress w Elaborate Gathered Bodice sold / (2) Shot from AlexanderThere are hints of this dress from both the 1986 collection and in the 1988 collection.

The dress is beautiful to see in person. It flows over the body from the more fitted bodice
