Early 1990s Donna Karan Cocktail Dress designer-la-mendola Modern Sizing equivalent: XS (2-4This is a great example of Donna Karan's earlier work and an extremely chic and wearable cocktail dress too!

This is from her main earlier line and I suspect it is late eighties or early 90s it has a ILGWU tag inside the skirt. The cut is fantastic and she has nipped in the waist and the skirt is actually cut on the curve
