Description
History of the Model: The Elie Saab house, founded in Lebanon, is recognized for its haute couture know-how and its evening dresses with sophisticated lines. Flowing silk creations and draped bustiers became strong signatures of the designer, particularly in the 1990s and 2000s, a period during which the brand established itself on international red carpets. This long strapless dress is part of this tradition, combining minimalist elegance and precise draping work, characteristics of sought-after vintage Elie Saab dresses.
Exterior Details: Made in black silk, the dress features a structured bustier with a pleated and crossed effect at the center of the chest, creating a subtle play on volume. The waist is highlighted by a horizontal draped band which accentuates the silhouette. The long skirt gradually flares and ends with a slightly longer asymmetrical hem at the back, bringing movement when walking. The fabric offers a soft and fluid drape, typical of natural silk evening dresses.
Interior Details: The interior is lined to ensure comfort and opacity. The label mentions dry cleaning as well as a 100% silk composition, manufactured in Lebanon. The internal structure of the bustier provides good support without visible straps. The back zipper is discreetly integrated into the central back seam.
Product Condition: The dress is in excellent condition. The fabric has no visible stains, tears or apparent deformations. The seams, zip and structure of the bustier are intact. Silk maintains its fluidity and uniform appearance.
Care Tips: Dry cleaning by a professional specializing in delicate textiles is recommended to preserve the quality of the silk. It is advisable to keep the dress on a suitable hanger, in a breathable cover, away from direct light to avoid any alteration of the fabric.
Why Choose this Product: This long strapless Elie Saab dress in black silk represents an emblematic piece of the house’s evening wardrobe. Its fluid cut, structured drape and natural silk construction make it a relevant choice for lovers of vintage fashion and designer dresses. Its size 36 and its excellent condition reinforce its appeal for formal wear or a collection of timeless couture pieces.
