This ethereal ivory silk chiffon appliqué rhinestone-petal gown is attributed to Angelo Tarlazzi’s 1990 couture collection. This dramatic dress is a testament to his mastery of fluid draping and feminine refinement. French designer Angelo Tarlazzi rose to prominence in the late 1970s and 1980s, celebrated for his sensuous simplicity and fluid, body-honoring silhouettes. His couture work, renowned for its modern refinement and impeccable draping. Cut on the bias from whisper-light silk chiffon in a soft ivory tone, it glides effortlessly over the figure with a liquid quality. The sheer outer layer reveals a built-in slip beneath, preserving the delicacy of the semi-sheer chiffon while ensuring perfect coverage. The bodice features thin slip straps and an elegant scoop neck, allowing the dress’s embellishment to take center stage. The defining element is the breathtaking cascade of petal appliqués, each edged with hand-applied rhinestones, beginning at the left shoulder and drifting diagonally across the torso. These sculpted petals continue down the skirt in overlapping tiers, creating a shimmering dimensional effect that moves beautifully with every step. As they flow toward the hem, the petals blossom into a dramatic train that gives the gown its show-stopping silhouette. The figure flattering shape and romantic petal detailing make it an exceptional bridal option, while its refined glamour also suits high-profile soirées or red carpet events. A truly magnificent Parisian gown!
