Description
History of the model: Founded in the 1960s, the Sonia Rykiel house has established itself as a reference in Parisian fashion by combining freedom of tone, bold colors and supple silhouettes. The “Sonia by Sonia Rykiel” line, launched in 1999, offers a younger, lighter and more relaxed version of the Rykiel universe, while remaining faithful to the house spirit: creativity, humor and comfort. This model fits perfectly into this dynamic, reinterpreting the day dress with a couture touch. The work of color and the detail of the flower make it an emblematic piece of the 2000s. External details: The dress is made in a superb virgin wool, dense but supple, in a vibrant pink, with an impeccable drape. The long-sleeved cut delicately follows the lines of the body without being tight, and flares slightly from the hips. The most striking detail is on the left side: a large pale pink silk flower, with a 3D effect, delicately gathered and punctuated in the center with hand-stitched transparent and pink crystals, which add a touch of subtle shine. The boat neckline elegantly reveals the shoulder line, while the discreet zipper at the back ensures easy putting on. Interior details: Fully lined with pink acetate and cupro fabric, the dress offers optimal comfort while highlighting the structure of the garment. The finishes are clean, neat, with perfectly executed interior seams. The label sewn on the inside collar mentions “SONIA by Sonia Rykiel – Made in Italy – Size 42”, a guarantee of the authenticity and high-end manufacturing of the model. Product Condition: This dress is in very good vintage condition. The wool fabric retains all its shine and hold. The silk flower is intact, with no tears or fading, and the rhinestones are all present, securely attached. The lining is clean, with no visible stains or defects. Care instructions: To preserve the beauty and structure of the wool as well as the delicacy of the silk flower, professional dry cleaning is recommended only. Ironing should be done at low temperature and always on the reverse side, with a damp cloth to avoid any shine to the fabric. The dress should be stored on a padded hanger, in a breathable protective cover, away from direct light. Why choose this product: This Sonia by Sonia Rykiel dress is much more than a piece of clothing: it is a style statement, a tribute to color and French creative audacity. She perfectly embodies the Rykiel spirit: free, joyful, and always elegant. It is a rare piece in this size, with an original design but easily wearable on a daily basis or for a more special event. Its excellent condition, its flattering cut, and the quality of its finishes make it a valuable acquisition for any lover of high-end vintage fashion. A dress that catches the eye while remaining incredibly chic.
