This vintage Dior 2 dress from the late 1980s to early 1990s is a striking example of the era’s dramatic evening wear, blending bold structure with luxurious texture. Crafted from sumptuous black velvet, the dress features a sharp square neckline, exuding sleek sophistication. The standout feature is its sculptural puffed sleeves, made from ruched velvet which gives them that rich textured appearance, creating a rich contrast against the smooth, figure-hugging bodice. These voluminous sleeves taper into a long, elegant silhouette, a nod to the powerful, statement-making fashion of the time.

This dress carries the elegance and drama associated with Dior’s designs from that era, particularly with its sumptuous black velvet construction, sculpted puffed sleeves in crushed velvet, and a sleek square neckline that enhances its structured yet feminine silhouette. It is a striking vintage investment piece, embodying the bold and theatrical aesthetics of late 20th-century fashion.
