Valentino Fall 1988 Haute Couture designer-madame-gres It was made in Italy

It was made in Italy and is the same high quality you would find with Pucci

That is what these are and while these sequins looked great they did have the unwanted side effect of potentially melting at temperatures with applied heat and dissolving in water

The feathers are in excellent condition and show no signs of shedding at all

These follow the curve of the hip and help add volume there without adding bulk

the sleeves are long and straight with a little notch at the end of each cuff
