Sleeves: approximately 26" and they are 10-11" around the upper arm

The sleeves go to just below the elbows

This peeks out from the silk netting as if it was a separate undergarment that has been exposed

That same padded quilting technique is used to detail the collar and neckline at the front where a series of silk covered buttons and loops allow you to button it up for a high neck or leave open for a bit of skin to show

The dress is very well made and the black silk interior gives it a rich and sensual feel once on

Spring 2002 Valentino by Mr. Valentino Runway Look 79 Strapless Red Dot Silk Chiffon Dress w Ruffled Tiers z-archive-lorisazzaro Sleeves: approximately 26" and theyThe twin of this dress walked the Spring 2002 runway as Look 79. It was made under the creative direction of the original Mr. Valentino. The dress was one of a group of seven presented near the end of the show. I think it was the best of that group and it is a wonderful example of Valentino's work for his main line during this time period. I love having the runway photos and video of the dress for reference so that you can see just how amazing it is
