Rare vintage avant garde designer dress set, c. 1980s, custom made by Marianne Novobatsky (a fixture in the downtown NY fashion & arts scene in the 1980s, 90s, and early 2000s.) This piece represents a piece of downtown NYC history.


This 1940s inspired, expertly tailored day dress set includes a long sleeve midi length dress with a great pointed, fold over collar, plus a matching capelet or skirt/overskirt (wear either way!), with fabric covered buttons down the front. Beautifully constructed with extremely flattering silhouette: Peaked shoulders, darted princess style seans, and pleat at reverse center hem for movement. Zipper up the back to close. No labels but feels like wool/wool blend. Lightweight, soft and breathable. A wonderful, one of a kind winter set!


Excellent vintage condition. Light wear. Professionally dry-cleaned and ready to wear.
