Fall 1988 Oscar de la Renta Miss O Gathered Dress w Incredible Back Button Finish designer-roland-mouret The sleeves fall from there

The sleeves fall from there and as you get closer to the piece you see how the fabric has been pieced together and seamed using proper couture techniques so that they fall perfectly

this is as good as it's going to get

The same side split detail on the pants is mirrored on the tunic but it is taken to the extreme and carried upon to just a few inches from the top seams

The waist curves in and the hips are cut on a rounded curve that is quite beautiful

Fall 1988 Oscar de la Renta Miss O Gathered Dress w Incredible Back Button Finish designer-roland-mouret The sleeves fall from thereThis is an interesting dress because it's from the Miss O label that Oscar de la Renta started during this time period for his younger audience. What makes it interesting is that a very near version of it walk the runway for the Fall 1988 show. You can see how he slightly changed the design to give it a bit of a younger feel and make it easier to wear. I've included that runway photo here for you said that you can see how fantastic it is on the body.
