Sleeveless wool knit dress by Parthenis dating from the 1980s. The garment features a round neckline and a fitted bodice constructed with visible tonal decorative princess-line seams running vertically along the front and sides. These seams shape the waist and extend into soft pleats that open into a long, flared skirt. The dress is made from ribbed wool knit, and the exposed tonal stitching emphasizes the garment’s panel construction and vertical structure. The design originated as a core model of the house in the 1980s and was subsequently revisited in numerous collections, becoming one of Parthenis’ most recognisable and enduring garments, including versions with sleeves, variations in neckline, different lengths, and in a range of fabrics.
