Its shape evokes the intimate, painterly mood of the collection, where Kawakubo presented richly textured pieces with an almost mantle-like, monastic elegance, yet with undeniable sensuality in fabric and movement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLightly lined at the interior for comfort, this is a rare and expressive garment that can be worn as a statement dress or layered over slim separates for a more directional styling.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCondition\u003cbr\u003eGood overall vintage condition.\u003cbr\u003e• Slight marks visible on the inside lining (not visible when worn)\u003cbr\u003e• Composition tag has been cut off\u003cbr\u003e• No major flaws noted to the exterior\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDetails\u003cbr\u003e• Brand: Comme des Garçons\u003cbr\u003e• Color: Grey (with soft taupe\/blush undertones depending on light)\u003cbr\u003e• Size: S\u003cbr\u003e• Made in Japan\u003cbr\u003e• Shipped from France\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMeasurements (flat)\u003cbr\u003e• Shoulders: 38 cm \/ 15 in\u003cbr\u003e• Armpit to armpit: 55 cm \/ 21.5 in\u003cbr\u003e• Waist: 55 cm \/ 21.5 in\u003cbr\u003e• Sleeve length: 63 cm \/ 25 in\u003cbr\u003e• Back length (under collar): 99 cm \/ 39 in\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Comme des Garçons","offers":[{"title":"S \/ Grey \/ Cotton","offer_id":56848548495692,"sku":null,"price":900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/6085\/7040\/files\/KJC5u5Ju_0.jpg?v=1772092570","url":"https:\/\/seconde-perspective.com\/products\/fw-1996-grey-floral-burnout-velvet-dress","provider":"2ND.PERSPECTIVE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
