Description

long sleeve backless dress Incredible Fall 1998 Guy Laroche by Alber Elbaz Runway Black Jersey Re – Shrimpton CoutureThe twin of the dress walked the runway for the Fall 1998 Guy Laroche collection It was made under the creative direction of Alber Elbaz. Alber was at Laroche from 1996 to 1998. The final collection that he designed was the Spring 1999 show and then he moved to YSL Rive Gauche directly after. This dress is an obvious take reissue on the famous 1972 Laroche designed by Guy and worn by Mireille Darc in the film 'The Tall Blond Man With One Black Shoe'.

  • The twin of the dress walked the runway for the Fall 1998 Guy Laroche collection
  • It was made under the creative direction of Alber Elbaz.
  • Alber was at Laroche from 1996 to 1998. The final collection that he designed was the Spring 1999 show and then he moved to YSL Rive Gauche directly after.
  • This dress is an obvious take / reissue on the famous 1972 Laroche designed by Guy and worn by Mireille Darc in the film 'The Tall Blond Man With One Black Shoe'.
  • The dress is made out of a soft black jersey that is a mix of wool and silk. This makes it extremely comfortable to wear. It also gives it a slight touch of modernity from the original. 
  • Like the original it has that deeply plunging and open back. The opening on this version goes right to the top of the neck instead of closing at the back of the neck like the original.
  • The front neck is scooped and sits high up on the neck. The shoulders are soft and the sleeves are long. I love how he added a flared cuff to the ends of each sleeve instead of keeping them tight and fitted. It gives the dress a slightly more fluid feel.
  • It skim over the bust and waist with simple darts, adding shape around the bust area. The jersey makes it very easy to fit because it has some stretch.
  • From there it curves back out over the hip and falls to the floor. The bottom flares out quite a bit to pick up on the flare of the sleeves. There is an inset triangle of panel at the back to give it more flare.
  • The back is fully open and the scoop is deep. This is intentional and meant to have that same shocking effect that the original dress had. Even knowing of the original dress, it still felt shocking when it was seen on the runway. I don't think it's quite as deep as the runway version but it's really dependent on your height and length of your torso. I have provided the measurement from the neck to the base of the scoop below.
  • This is an incredibly rare dress and you may not see one again. I love the double dose of fashion history that this one has with the tie in with the original, as well as being an early piece of Alber's work, plus the documentation on the runway. A collectors dream.
  • The dress is unlined and slips on to wear with no closures. The black jersey has some stretch and I have put the comfortable range of measurements below. Its easy fit and stretch should allow it to fit a range of sizes. It appears to have been worn very little, if at all.

Best Boxer Briefs for Women!
Color: 09-multicolour (4-pack), Size: Large
I rarely give 5⭐️’s but these deserve it! Hands down, the most comfortable material, stitching, waistband, moisture wicking and overall comfort. They sit right beneath my bellybutton, they wash and dry well and they’re sturdy. I have tried 3 styles and these are the best.

Super comfortable! Great for layering under loose, cheeky shorts. Colors amazing!
Color: Multicolor B (5-pack), Size: Small
I specifically got these to wear under some loose shorts I got from Amazon (5 Pack Modal Lounge Shorts) so my cheeks don't show when bending over, and the pop of color looks amazing anyway! I have a 27" waist and 37.25" hips, and size Small works perfect for me. I love how these shorts have a classic underwear lining that a pad would sit perfectly on, whereas the longer boxer style ones of this same brand do not have that classic panty liner style crotch. The material is uniquely thick, stretchy, and thin/breezy all at once! To be honest, I am not opposed to wearing these straight up as shorts to work out it. They look like cute booty shorts and no one would know they're technically underwear. Plus when you buy a 5 pack like this, you're getting an amazing price whereas most athletic shorts are priced at $20 per pair or more, and they're not made with ANY natural materials like these BambooCool shorts are. I like them!

Best Sleep Shorts EVER ♥️
Color: Multicolor a (5-pack), Size: Medium
Love, love, LOVE these bamboo BoyShorts! I wear them for sleeping because they’re incredibly light, soft and comfortable while still having a great liner. They fit to my body while not feeling tight, snug or restrictive. Soooo comfortable. I’m 5’8” 145 lbs and went with Medium. ♥️

Amazing fit!!!
Color: Multicolor a (5-pack), Size: Large
These are quite literally the best underwear I have ever worn. I am going to replace all of my underwear with just these. I got the shorter boy shorts cut and they are amazing. These let my body be the shape that my body is, no squeezing or tight waist band. I feel so normal and comfortable in them, they’re breathable and soft!! I absolutely love them after so much trial and error with underwear I finally found the ones!

Highly recommend during pregnancy and to wear around the house!
Color: Multicolor a (5-pack), Size: X-Large
Love!! I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant. I’m 5’6” and pre pregnancy weight I would fluctuate between 132-140 lbs easily. I now weigh 162 lbs and my hip is now measuring 40 inches. I bought the XL in the dark grey/black so that it wouldn’t be tight at all around my belly and I absolutely love them! Stretchy, comfortable, breathable. They aren’t loose around my thighs and I can tell they are gonna be nice to wear during post partum. I wear them around the house with an open robe and a bralette for the ultimate comfort. If I were to buy them before pregnancy, I’m positive that a large would have fit beautifully, even though the small/medium measurements on the size chart would have been my pre pregnancy weight, I know they would have been too tight. I detest tight underwear! Highly recommend!
