Description

long sleeve backless dress Incredible Fall 1998 Guy Laroche by Alber Elbaz Runway Black Jersey Re – Shrimpton CoutureThe twin of the dress walked the runway for the Fall 1998 Guy Laroche collection It was made under the creative direction of Alber Elbaz. Alber was at Laroche from 1996 to 1998. The final collection that he designed was the Spring 1999 show and then he moved to YSL Rive Gauche directly after. This dress is an obvious take reissue on the famous 1972 Laroche designed by Guy and worn by Mireille Darc in the film 'The Tall Blond Man With One Black Shoe'.

  • The twin of the dress walked the runway for the Fall 1998 Guy Laroche collection
  • It was made under the creative direction of Alber Elbaz.
  • Alber was at Laroche from 1996 to 1998. The final collection that he designed was the Spring 1999 show and then he moved to YSL Rive Gauche directly after.
  • This dress is an obvious take / reissue on the famous 1972 Laroche designed by Guy and worn by Mireille Darc in the film 'The Tall Blond Man With One Black Shoe'.
  • The dress is made out of a soft black jersey that is a mix of wool and silk. This makes it extremely comfortable to wear. It also gives it a slight touch of modernity from the original. 
  • Like the original it has that deeply plunging and open back. The opening on this version goes right to the top of the neck instead of closing at the back of the neck like the original.
  • The front neck is scooped and sits high up on the neck. The shoulders are soft and the sleeves are long. I love how he added a flared cuff to the ends of each sleeve instead of keeping them tight and fitted. It gives the dress a slightly more fluid feel.
  • It skim over the bust and waist with simple darts, adding shape around the bust area. The jersey makes it very easy to fit because it has some stretch.
  • From there it curves back out over the hip and falls to the floor. The bottom flares out quite a bit to pick up on the flare of the sleeves. There is an inset triangle of panel at the back to give it more flare.
  • The back is fully open and the scoop is deep. This is intentional and meant to have that same shocking effect that the original dress had. Even knowing of the original dress, it still felt shocking when it was seen on the runway. I don't think it's quite as deep as the runway version but it's really dependent on your height and length of your torso. I have provided the measurement from the neck to the base of the scoop below.
  • This is an incredibly rare dress and you may not see one again. I love the double dose of fashion history that this one has with the tie in with the original, as well as being an early piece of Alber's work, plus the documentation on the runway. A collectors dream.
  • The dress is unlined and slips on to wear with no closures. The black jersey has some stretch and I have put the comfortable range of measurements below. Its easy fit and stretch should allow it to fit a range of sizes. It appears to have been worn very little, if at all.
  • Tagged a vintage Laroche FR36

This balm is Magical!
Scent: Vanilla, Size: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This product was a life saver! After using the same face moisturizer for years, I suddenly became allergic to it. Overnight my face became swollen, red, sores that oozed, it was disgusting, embarrassing, and painful. I was diagnosed and treated for impetigo- which I knew was not the cause. But I didn’t know the cause until it cleared up and I went back to the old moisturizer because I was sure it couldn’t be that after years of use. But it was and I had another outbreak. So I researched an American made product and found this balm. It is magic! Within a week of using it the symptoms were gone! I love the scent, the protection it provides, and just how very soothing it is on my face. It is the right thickness to keep my face from dryness all day long. I love the feel of adding a glow to my skin with a rich oil that is pure and allergy free. I’m on my second jar and will be a loyal customer from here on out!

Best on the Market
Scent: Citrus, Size: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Been using this product for about 8 months, its all i use. As soon as I get out of the shower, I use it. Then at bed time. I use nothing else. I wish I knew about this Beef tallow sooner. I am 60, and will continue to use this. My face has never been softer. and My wrinkles are definitely not as prominent. Great product!!!! Great Price!!!!! Just but it and try it. You you know instantly. Your face will feel so soft, and moisturized . And its Not Greasy.

Great Skin Conditioner
Scent: Unscented, Size: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I ordered the unscented, and it is truly unscented. It is solid, but by rubbing you finger around the top of the tallow, it immediately begins softening and melting. I used too much the first time, as it leaves a sticky/tacky film on the skin, so as the instructions say, a little goes a long way. Even though the next time I was careful to use very little, I do think it leaves a little tacky and greasy feeling, but it does soften and protect the skin. My only complaint is that due to the size of the jar, and if you have long fingernails, you can't just rub your finger on top of the tallow without getting it all under your fingernails. I'd like the jar to be changed to a short wide mouth vessel, hence only a 4 star rating.

Excellent ingredients and product!!
Scent: Unscented, Size: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I rarely do reviews, but I am extremely impressed with this product and company. First it comes in beautiful packaging, the ingredients are pure, great, and so healthy! The price is good, and there isn’t any rancid smell which has been an issues with other similar products I’ve bought. I specifically bought the unscented to make sure it didn’t smell rancid, and it doesn’t. If I had one criticism it’s that there isn’t a phone number for contact just the website. I’m elderly, so I prefer to talk with someone. But, after I just experienced 2 bad experiences with similar products that I had to return, I so happy that I ordered this one. And, I’m so impressed that I’m going to order more now! 😁 Thanks 🙏 Terra Lotus for providing us with a great 👍 product!! Bambi Forester

Worked well with us!
Scent: Citrus, Size: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve been trying different products for my daughter’s eczema-prone skin. Her skin was getting really dry, irritated, and rough in certain spots, and this balm has been super moisturizing and soothing. I love that it’s made with simple, natural ingredients and doesn’t feel harsh on her sensitive skin. A little goes a long way, and we’ve noticed her skin staying softer and less irritated after using it consistently. Definitely one of the better products we’ve tried lately 💛
