Description

black 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.

Sad
Color: #03 Champagne
Spray doesn’t work. The spray only worked for a few sprays. I work in the entertaining industry and was looking forward for not just myself but the other girls to use the glitter spray. Out of 30 girls only 3 were able to use it. The spray bottle stopped working. I ordered a replacement and it stopped working also after a few sprays

Best leash we’ve owned in 36 years of dog parenting
Color: Green, Size: Large
Wow! My wife and I have been dog parents for 36 years (six dogs), and this is the best leash we’ve used. * Two handles: I used to think the second handle was unnecessary—now I can’t go back. * Comfort: Both handles are padded, so no hand strain on long walks or sudden pulls. * Tangle-resistant: The swivel between the leash and the loop that goes over the dog’s nose/neck keeps things from twisting, which makes control easier. * Secure fit: The sizing ring stays put, so it won’t pinch the dog’s nose. Note: There’s no backup clip to attach to a collar, so a determined dog could slip it if the loop is too loose. Adjusting the ring snugly has worked well for us. Given the quality and price, I can’t recommend this leash more highly. ★★★★★

Slip lead that doesn't tangled and allows for a greater control
Color: Blue, Size: Large
I'm using this slip lead to volunteer at a dhelter - and what a difference it made! I really like this slip lead leash! Very easy to put it on a pup one-handed, the swivel and second handle make a huge difference! (The main shortcoming of a simpler version of a similar slip lead without a swivel is that it's getting tangled and/or twisted around). This is also high quality item - every detail is thlught through! Very comfortable to use, multiple color options - really nothing negative to complain about! Love this leash!
