Product Description

An exceptionally rare Dolce & Gabbana 1999 Runway two-piece dress set, representing one of the house’s most romantic and collectible archive collections.

This remarkable ensemble consists of a luxurious crimson silk satin slip dress layered beneath an ethereal black sheer mesh overdress, lavishly embellished with dozens of individually applied three-dimensional floral appliqués. Floating blossoms in soft ivory, blush pink, fuchsia and lavender appear to bloom organically across the silhouette, creating a striking illusion of flowers suspended in mid-air.

The transparency of the mesh overlay contrasts beautifully with the rich satin slip beneath, embodying the sensual femininity that defined Dolce & Gabbana’s late-1990s runway collections. The sculptural floral embroidery transforms the garment into a true couture-like statement, showcasing the house’s exceptional craftsmanship during one of its most celebrated creative periods.

Design highlights include:

— Authentic 1999 Runway design

— Original two-piece construction

— Crimson silk satin slip dress

— Sheer black mesh overlay

— Hand-applied three-dimensional floral appliqués

— Romantic illusion neckline and back

— Elegant layered silhouette

— Made in Italy

Produced in extremely limited quantities, runway examples from this collection rarely surface on the secondary market. Complete sets retaining both the original silk underdress and embroidered mesh overlay have become exceptionally difficult to source, making this a true collector’s archive piece.

Condition Notes

Excellent vintage condition throughout.

• Both the silk slip dress and mesh overlay remain beautifully preserved.

• Three-dimensional floral appliqués are intact with vibrant colours.

• Mesh remains clean without noticeable structural flaws.

• Satin maintains a rich lustre with minimal signs of wear.

A remarkably well-preserved example of one of Dolce & Gabbana’s most collectible late-1990s runway designs.
