Vintage Imitation of Christ Studio Silk Babydoll Dress

A rare Imitation of Christ Studio babydoll dress, reconstructed in the brand’s signature one-of-a-kind approach using vivid multicolor striped dobby-woven fabric with mixed textile paneling. This piece has an artful, handmade quality with a high neckline, softly gathered babydoll body, exaggerated sleeves, contrast piping, and a short, easy silhouette. The main fabric features bold horizontal stripes in shades of pink, orange, red, teal, olive, and blue with tiny raised woven dot details throughout. One side includes a contrasting bohemian floral lurex panel, adding to the layered, reconstructed studio feel associated with Imitation of Christ pieces. This is a later Studio-era Imitation of Christ piece, estimated mid-to-late 2000s, sourced from the living estate of the brand’s founder. The label is loosely tacked inside, consistent with the handmade/studio nature of the garment. Wear as a mini dress, tunic dress, or layered over trousers for a more editorial look.
