Lanvin Boutique Paris “Spectacle” Dress – 1978–82 – Emerald & Red Colorblock – Size 44 80D

Be different. Wear UNIQUE, QUALITY items ! Mix it!

A rare and collectible Lanvin Boutique Paris dress from the late 1970s to early 1980s, officially labeled Modèle: SPECTACLE — one of the brand’s theatrical, couture-inspired ready-to-wear designs of the era.

Made from 100% cotton in a striking emerald green with a dramatic lipstick-red lining, this dress features a structured strapless bodice, gathered skirt, and high-impact slit that reveals the contrasting interior — a signature Lanvin flourish from this period.

The dress was originally sold through Bloomingdale’s European Designer Boutique, as indicated by the reference tag (Ref 245 Nr. 2), making it an exclusive U.S. luxury-store import.

Size 44 (modern M/L) — a highly sought-after size in designer vintage.

A bold, joyful piece of French fashion history — perfect for summer events, cocktail parties, resort evenings, or styled casually with sandals for contemporary effortless chic.

PLEASE CHECK MEASUREMENTS BEFORE PURCHASE! Antique hand made items where handmade and differ to standard sizes. Please check the measurements closely for determining fit. I do not give sizes for vintage items as women's sizes are not standardized and a majority of these dresses were homemade or specialty made to fit one person. Also if vintage items are size tagged they usually run smalller comparing to the actual sizes. A good method to check is to measure a similar item that fits and compare.
If you have any questions about the fit feel free to ask, I am happy to help.

Condition: Very Good. No stains. No damages.
