A truly rare and stunning two-piece set from the house of Gianfranco Ferré. The corset is a confirmed 1998 runway piece, heavily embellished with silver bugle beads, sequins, and metallic threadwork across the structured boning. The off-the-shoulder neckline features a wide beaded band that drapes across the décolletage, with delicate ruched straps and an open-back lace-up closure — quintessential Ferré craftsmanship at its finest.
The ivory ball skirt is undated but consistent with Ferré’s 90’s and early 2000’s ethereal aesthetic. Cut from a lustrous cream silk-blend, it features dramatic pleating that flares into a sweeping train. A standout detail is the embroidered jacquard sash with crystal accents that wraps diagonally at the hip and ties into a bow at the back — romantic and architectural simultaneously.
Worn together, the set reads as a bridal-adjacent couture statement — equally at home on a red carpet, editorial shoot, or an avant-garde wedding.
Size and Measurements:
Corset size IT42- runs smaller fits XS - S
Flat measurements:
Waist 11.5” flat, stretching up to 13.5”
Bust 13”, more flexible due to fabric.
Skirt IT 38 - supposed to sit lower in the waist or can be worn higher like I did.
Waist 14”
Hips 18”
Condition: Very Good. There’s a small hole on the hem of the skirt, under one the pleats. Can’t be seen when wearing. Small faint marks on the hem, also can’t be seen when wearing! Corset has a little bit of yellowing when closely inspected.
