Fall 1988 Oscar de la Renta Miss O Gathered Dress w Incredible Back Button Finish designer-alfred-bosand Across the upper front thereThis is an interesting dress because it's from the Miss O label that Oscar de la Renta started during this time period for his younger audience.

You can see how he slightly changed the design to give it a bit of a younger feel and make it easier to wear. I've included that runway photo here for you said that you can see how fantastic it is on the body.
