Prettiest Spring 1990 Oscar De La Renta Deep Sapphire Blue Silk Chiffon Strapless Dress w Matching Cape Sale At the back the dress

At the back the dress closes with one of their big silver zippers that have become a signature and this sits just under one side of a full lace panel that runs long down the back

I love the fabric covered buttons - they just do not make buttons like that anymore

The color is amazing - more of a soft version of the blue than what has photoed and I love the subtle bit of a white undertone that runs through it

The bodice is hand draped into soft rounded gathers over the bust
