From the Owner: A remarkable Oscar de la Renta gown from 1970, celebrated for its dramatic blend of gothic romance and couture-level craftsmanship. Crafted from sumptuous black velvet, the design features a floor-length skirt woven with a subtle sequin bow motif, paired with an illusion bodice intricately embellished with black sequin embroidery. Luxurious ostrich feather trim frames the neckline and cuffs, while a satin sash cinches the waist and ties into a graceful bow, creating a beautifully defined silhouette. Documented in a full-page spread in Vogue’s November 1970 issue and held in the permanent collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, this extraordinary gown represents a rare opportunity to acquire a museum-worthy piece of fashion history. Elegant, theatrical, and impeccably preserved, it stands among the most significant archival Oscar de la Renta designs of its era. Fits a US 2-4
