Description

long sleeve backless dress Incredible Fall 1998 Guy Laroche by Alber Elbaz Runway Black Jersey Re – Shrimpton CoutureThe twin of the dress walked the runway for the Fall 1998 Guy Laroche collection It was made under the creative direction of Alber Elbaz. Alber was at Laroche from 1996 to 1998. The final collection that he designed was the Spring 1999 show and then he moved to YSL Rive Gauche directly after. This dress is an obvious take reissue on the famous 1972 Laroche designed by Guy and worn by Mireille Darc in the film 'The Tall Blond Man With One Black Shoe'.

  • The twin of the dress walked the runway for the Fall 1998 Guy Laroche collection
  • It was made under the creative direction of Alber Elbaz.
  • Alber was at Laroche from 1996 to 1998. The final collection that he designed was the Spring 1999 show and then he moved to YSL Rive Gauche directly after.
  • This dress is an obvious take / reissue on the famous 1972 Laroche designed by Guy and worn by Mireille Darc in the film 'The Tall Blond Man With One Black Shoe'.
  • The dress is made out of a soft black jersey that is a mix of wool and silk. This makes it extremely comfortable to wear. It also gives it a slight touch of modernity from the original. 
  • Like the original it has that deeply plunging and open back. The opening on this version goes right to the top of the neck instead of closing at the back of the neck like the original.
  • The front neck is scooped and sits high up on the neck. The shoulders are soft and the sleeves are long. I love how he added a flared cuff to the ends of each sleeve instead of keeping them tight and fitted. It gives the dress a slightly more fluid feel.
  • It skim over the bust and waist with simple darts, adding shape around the bust area. The jersey makes it very easy to fit because it has some stretch.
  • From there it curves back out over the hip and falls to the floor. The bottom flares out quite a bit to pick up on the flare of the sleeves. There is an inset triangle of panel at the back to give it more flare.
  • The back is fully open and the scoop is deep. This is intentional and meant to have that same shocking effect that the original dress had. Even knowing of the original dress, it still felt shocking when it was seen on the runway. I don't think it's quite as deep as the runway version but it's really dependent on your height and length of your torso. I have provided the measurement from the neck to the base of the scoop below.
  • This is an incredibly rare dress and you may not see one again. I love the double dose of fashion history that this one has with the tie in with the original, as well as being an early piece of Alber's work, plus the documentation on the runway. A collectors dream.
  • The dress is unlined and slips on to wear with no closures. The black jersey has some stretch and I have put the comfortable range of measurements below. Its easy fit and stretch should allow it to fit a range of sizes. It appears to have been worn very little, if at all.
  • Tagged a vintage Laroche FR36

Amazing and cute
Size: Small, Color: Pink, Size: Small, Color: Pink
I have a puppy who absolutely adores her toys, especially now that she’s teething! I picked out some pink ones that are just right for her—she’s only 2 1/2 months old and weighs 2 lbs. The best part is the variety of toys she loves to play with.

Built to Chew, Designed to Last – A Teething Pup’s Best Friend!
Size: Small, Color: Pink
These puppy chew toys are adorable and well made! I picked the pink set for my girl, but they come in several color options to suit any pup’s personality. So far, she hasn’t destroyed a single one — which says a lot, because she’s definitely in her teething phase. That said, I do wish she’d chew on the toys more than she chews on me — ha! She seems to enjoy them most when I’m playing with her, so they’ve become a fun bonding tool. I also really appreciate that a couple of the toys can hold small treats. That keeps her entertained a bit longer and gives my hands a much-needed break. Overall, this is a great little starter kit for teething puppies. Durable, cute, and interactive — we’re both happy with it!

Bad Qualify - Toxic Plastic, Not Good or Safe
Size: Small, Color: Purple
These are toxic micro-plastic toys. They are especially bad for teething puppies sharp teeth. Within an hour of playing, pieces began to chip off and easily falling apart. If you don’t heed this warning to buy something else, at least monitor your dog when in use, never leave unattended and plan to throw them away when they start to break down. It’s a shame because the set is really cute and has ideal texture my dog loved with a nice variety of shapes. Not worth the risk though for a member of the family.

its okay
Size: Small, Color: Green
This set of 4 puppy toys is overall decent and a good option for light play. The toys are cute, soft, and my puppy enjoyed playing with them right away. They are great for gentle chewing, carrying around, and interactive play, especially for younger or less aggressive puppies. However, if your dog is very active or a strong chewer, these toys don’t last very long. In our case, they started to tear fairly quickly with regular play. They’re definitely not indestructible and won’t hold up well for high-energy dogs who like to chew hard. Overall, I’d say these toys are fine for the price and okay for casual use, but they’re better suited for calmer puppies rather than very active ones. If your puppy loves intense chewing, you may need something more durable.
