VTG RARE Crissa Italian designer inspo knit dress 10

Vintage Crissa Italian-made designer knit dress has beautiful cinching details at the waist and cuffs with geometric patterning and woven ribbon Compare to vintage Valentino Garavani spin on this design, and I think this original one has more flair and understated femininity! Highlight colors are a warm red and contrasting khaki The graphic makes me think of Spaghetti Westerns from the same era, to be honest, but in a stylized way. Incredible condition in this rare item - no holes, rips, stains Upper half is a standard mockneck styled ribbed wool but with metallic highlights Lower a-line bordering circle skirt is also knit wool but with less stretch and placed on the bias for elegant draping Overall, amazing up-close details are the focus, but minimalist styling at the same time would showcase a long, lean line Striking look. Glitter from the metallic threading is subtle but does add festive flair to the dress 15” pit to pit when not stretched @40” shoulder to hem Extra label inside the garment points to the dress coming from an Allentown, PA landmark - Hess's - with the added cache of originating in the original store's French room where collections were curated to follow Parisian fashion on a regular basis and was its own destination for shoppers. Lovely! Many other vintage items in my closet for possible bundling and a 20% discount.
