This exceptional ready-to-wear shift dress features a striking, high-contrast polychrome floral motif overlaying a finely textured, vertical micro-pleated plissé base in electric cerulean blue. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrue to the brand's revolutionary space-age modernism, the garment showcases an elegant boat neckline, an open\/cutaway shoulder line, and two signature oversized utilitarian patch pockets structured symmetrically on the hips. Pristine, unworn New Old Stock (NOS \/ Deadstock) condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e### PROVENANCE \u0026amp; TECHNICAL DESIGN\u003cbr\u003eCrafted in France, this piece perfectly encapsulates Courrèges' shift toward relaxed luxury resort wear in the late 20th century. The vertical micro-pleating offers a structural, heavy fluid drape while providing natural mechanical flexibility without the use of artificial elastics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA standout functional feature includes the dual oversized patch pockets structured symmetrically on the hips, engineered with an interior technical mesh lining. This choice of material provides lightweight structural volume to the pockets without weighing down the silhouette. The reverse side features a concealed center-back invisible zipper that seamlessly integrates into the continuous, precision-matched floral print layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditionally, the interior neckline features its pristine secondary retail boutique tag reading \"Modehuis achter de schermen\" (Behind the Scenes Fashion House), tracing its commercial origin to an elite luxury multi-brand retailer in the Netherlands and further solidifying its unwashed, immaculate deadstock status.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e### CONDITION REPORT\u003cbr\u003ePristine vintage condition. Authenticated New Old Stock (NOS \/ Deadstock) with zero signs of wear, fiber degradation, fading, or structural distortion. Colors remain highly saturated, and the interior labels are perfectly intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e### MEASUREMENTS \u0026amp; SIZE TENDENCY\u003cbr\u003e- **Pit-to-Pit:** 47 cm (18.5 inches)\u003cbr\u003e- **Shoulder-to-Shoulder:** Open \/ Free Cutaway\u003cbr\u003e- **Total Length:** 91 cm (35.8 inches)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**Size Tendency:** The neck label indicates a vintage French **Taille 44**. However, historical French luxury sizing from this era runs significantly smaller than modern standards. Combined with the flat 47 cm pit-to-pit measurement and structured micro-pleating, this dress fits like a modern **European Women's Size M (EU 38)** for a proper relaxed shift silhouette. It can accommodate a slim Large (EU 40) if a more body-contouring fit is desired.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e### SPECIFICATIONS\u003cbr\u003e- **Brand:** Courrèges Paris\u003cbr\u003e- **Epoch:** Late 1980s \/ Early 1990s\u003cbr\u003e- **Country of Origin:** Made in France\u003cbr\u003e- **Material:** Premium Vintage Cotton\/Blend (Textured Plissé Jersey)\u003cbr\u003e- **Labeling:** Printed satin Courrèges Paris main tag, \"Taille \/ Size 44\" tag, and secondary Dutch boutique label\u003cbr\u003e- **Condition:** New Old Stock \/ Deadstock (Museum Grade)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Novum ex vetere Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53892869587291,"sku":null,"price":44933.0,"currency_code":"THB","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1024\/2922\/9403\/files\/P1015237.jpg?v=1787814378","url":"https:\/\/novum-ex-vetere-vintage.com\/en-th\/products\/archival-courreges-paris-plisse-floral-shift-dress-c-late-1980s-early-1990s-nos-size-m","provider":"Novum ex vetere Vintage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
