Alberta Ferretti SS1992 Silk Organza Dress & Cardigan Set – Tangerine

Size M (please refer to measurements)

A rare Alberta Ferretti ensemble from the Spring/Summer 1992 collection, documented on the original runway presentation. Dating from the early years of the Italian house, this exceptional two-piece set beautifully illustrates Ferretti’s emerging vision of ethereal femininity, combining couture-inspired craftsmanship with the lightness and romance that would become her signature.

Crafted entirely from luminous silk organza in a vibrant tangerine hue, the set consists of a strapless dress and a coordinating sheer cardigan designed to be worn together or separately. The dress features a softly structured bodice framed by delicate pleated silk trims, while two rows of meticulously hand-rolled silk rosettes adorn the neckline. Each flower is finished with a silk-covered button at its center, showcasing the remarkable level of hand craftsmanship characteristic of the collection.

The fitted bodice falls into a softly gathered skirt with generous volume and movement, finishing just below the knee with a delicately scalloped raw-edge hem that enhances the airy quality of the silk organza. The matching cropped cardigan echoes the dress’s lightness, featuring long sleeves and a simple tie closure at the neckline secured by a covered button, completing the silhouette with effortless elegance.

Romantic, sculptural, and exceptionally refined, the ensemble embodies the poetic aesthetic that established Alberta Ferretti as one of Italy’s foremost designers of feminine occasionwear. Its documented runway provenance and extraordinary hand-finished detailing make it a particularly significant piece from the designer’s early archive.

A beautiful collector’s set from one of Alberta Ferretti’s earliest and most sought-after collections.
