Description
Naeem Khan is know for his attention to detail and the luxurious craftsmanship of his beautiful evening dresses. Naeem Khan began his US fashion career as an apprentice to Halston in the 1970's. That is where he learned the fine art of garment construction. Through Halston, Khan was able to meet an elite clientele that included celebrities like Liza Minnelli and Elizabeth Taylor. He launched Riazee, named after his mother, in 1981 and went on to create his Naeem Khan label in 2003.
This late 1980's or early 1990's Riazee Boutique vintage black silk dress is covered in small layered beads and shimmering sequins to create pansies all over in shades of green, purple, and yellow. The bodice is covered in large layered pansies and the skirt has stems and leaves with smaller flowers.
This playful dress has green beaded double spaghetti straps, a hidden zipper closure with a hook and eye, padded cups, and a sweetheart neckline. Though it is fully lined, the dress is still slightly sheer from the waist down. There are two semi-sheer black layers of silk with some beading and sequins on top.
Labeled Riazee Boutique and Made in India. The dress also has the Rizik Bros Washington DC boutique label.

Measuring & Fit Guide
We offer a large selection of designers and manufacturers that span the 20th and early 21st century. Sizing varies greatly, so we have outlined our measuring and size estimating process.
The best way to know if a vintage item will fit you is to take a garment that fits you well, similar to the one you are interested in purchasing, and measure it the way we measure ours.
We lay all garments flat and measure as follows*:
| DRESSES | PANTS | |
|
BUST - under arm to under arm across the front and then double that measurement. |
Measure the WAISTBAND, widest part of the HIPS, widest part of the THIGH on one leg and width of the CUFF, then double those measurements |
|
|
WAIST - find the smallest part of the garment if there isn't an obvious seam for the waist and measure across and then double that measurement. |
LENGTH - Measure from the top of the waistband to the bottom of the cuff along the side seam. | |
| HIPS - Find the largest part of the hip area and measure flat, then double that measurement. | RISE - Measure from the crotch to the top of the waistband. | |
| LENGTH - from the nape of the neck or the top of the shoulders, depending on the style of garment. We will measure to the waist when applicable, so that you can determine if it will fit your torso, and then a waist down measurement. | INSEAM - Measure from the crotch to the bottom of the cuff along the inside seam. | |
|
SLEEVES - measure from the top of the shoulder seam to the end of the sleeve. When we think that the arm opening is particularly small, we will provide that measurement as well.** |
*Fabrics with stretch will have some give, we will try to mention the range of measurements that will fit comfortably.
**With dolman sleeves, the size is an estimation based on the waist as the body seamlessly joins the sleeve. 
Feel free to email us with specific questions about specific measurements that we may not have included that you need to know in order to feel confident about your purchase. If you have a particularly long torso, short legs, long arms, etc.. we can help you determine whether or not a garment will work for your body.
