Late 80s Carolina Herrera society dress

Carolina Herrera was synonymous with effortless class and style, and dressed many politicians wives etc. very much the ladies who lunch set! This dress is a testament to her vision since it’s still a classic flattering cut and fabric that would look great at the office, brunch, or fancy patio event. With Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein, she helped define the American style of the 90s and when others went minimal, she always had something big!
