1985 Alaïa Alabaster Linen Set
From incredible designer Alaïa — His background as a sculpture student heavily influenced his design, as he treated fabric as a medium to be molded around the female form. His sharp, engineered tailoring was typical of the 1980s "power dressing" trend but with a more sensual approach.
This set is incredibly flattering on and can be worn together, or separate.
Another dress from this same line is part of the MET costume permanent archives which you can see here.
