Oscar de la Renta black silk textured strapless tie corset bustier midi dress

Vintage Oscar de la Renta from 2008
Extremely elegant beautiful black strapless bustier dress with a rolled pleated bust and self tie closure at centre front
Draped body
The fabric has the most beautiful texture, so do zoom in on the pictures to see
There is an inner nude mesh boned corset with padded underwire cups. This separately hooks up at the front and then the dress does up over it via poppers. The ties at the bust are then tied into a knot concealing all forms of closure
MADE IN USA

Composition:
No composition label – estimated to be 100% silk

Size:
Marked a US 4 but comes up smaller – this is suited to an XS – Please refer to the measurements below

Bust 30-32″
Under bust 28″
Length 45″

Condition:
The bust shows signs of some pulls and slight fraying to the fabric, perhaps where it has been rubbed. However this is just impossible to see given how dark the dress is and that the fabric is heavily textured. I have tried to provide a close up photo of the bust showing this – but as you can see from the picture, it’s just impossible to see! Only with close inspection turned towards the light is it visible.
The top hook is also missing, this can be easily replaced, but it is not actually needed. There are other poppers and hooks, so it stays perfectly closed and the knot tie at the bust covers the fact one is missing.
Otherwise in excellent condition
