Woman's Evening Dress

Fall 1982

Hubert de Givenchy’s refined style shines through in this haute couture evening dress. A glittering column of sequins is tempered by two layers of black tulle over the skirt, while layers of voluminous tulle ruffles expand and soften the silhouette. Prized for their elegance, beauty of line, and exquisite workmanship, Givenchy’s clothes preserve the great traditions of French couture.
