Archival Oscar de la Renta NOS Trench Dress 90s Deadstock Petrol Blue Gabardine Mini Dress Puff Sleeve Size S EU 36
Archival Oscar de la Renta NOS Trench Dress 90s Deadstock Petrol Blue Gabardine Mini Dress Puff Sleeve Size S EU 36
**A Museum-Grade Artifact of American Prêt-à-Porter History**
**The Provenance & Design Era:**
This exquisite early 1990s double-breasted trench-style mini dress, designed during the golden era of Óscar de la Renta’s personal creative direction, arrives in flawless, unworn New Old Stock (NOS) / Deadstock condition. A masterclass in transitional tailoring, this piece effortlessly bridges the gap between structured late-80s power dressing and the refined, minimalist silhouettes of the early 1990s.
**The Fabric & Tailoring Mastery:**
Crafted from a remarkably dense, premium architectural polyester gabardine, the textile features a highly defined, diagonal twill weave that offers impeccable structural memory and a crisp, crease-resistant drape. The garment is rendered in a mesmerizing, deep editorial petrol teal.
* **Sartorial Silhouette:** Dramatic yet tailored subtle puff sleeves taper elegantly into buttoned cuffs. The double-breasted bodice is framed by a sharp, sweeping lapel.
* **Hardware & Finish:** Adorned with genuine, heavy tonal Corozo (vegetable ivory) buttons featuring organic tortoiseshell swirling.
**Provenance & Authenticity Proof:**
Collectors will note the pristine, elongated woven silk signature neck label in stark monochrome—a definitive hallmark introduced by the house in the late 1980s/early 1990s. The absence of secondary diffusion line indicators (such as Studio or Studio X) certifies this piece as part of the prestigious international Prêt-à-Porter Main Label collection. **Note on Tags:** While the internal care label has been removed for a seamless wearing experience—a common practice among private collectors of archival couture—the textile has been expertly verified as a premium-grade architectural gabardine.

A Note on Archival Fashion
Please keep in mind that these rare pieces have lived a past life. Minimal signs of wear or a natural patina are entirely normal and part of their unique history.
Care & Condition
I treat every garment with the utmost respect. Each piece is carefully hand-washed, steamed, or ozone-treated so it reaches you in beautiful, ready-to-wear condition. However, due to the age and nature of vintage textiles, a very faint vintage scent may occasionally linger.
Sizing & Fit
To showcase the intended drape and silhouette in our editorial photos, garments that are larger than the model may be subtly pinned. Please never rely on the photos alone for sizing; always use the detailed flat-lay measurements provided in the description to ensure a perfect fit.
Color Accuracy
We strive to capture the true essence of each garment, though slight color variations may occur depending on the lighting and your screen's calibration.
Boutique Policies
To ensure absolute fairness for all of our collectors, we operate strictly on a first-come, first-served basis. We do not accept reservations or higher bids on items that have already been sold. Additionally, as our prices reflect the rarity, authentication, and extensive restoration of each piece, they are strictly non-negotiable. Please take the time to review all measurements and details carefully before securing your piece.
