The futuristic and hyper-feminized designs of Thierry Mugler helped define the 1980's and 1990's. The ultimate femme fatale designs were elegantly structured to accentuate the female silhouette. Thierry Mugler’s theatrical, avant garde runway shows were almost as famous as his designs. These dramatic shows were inspired by his background as a ballet dancer for the Opéra national du Rhin in his hometown of Strasbourg, France. From the beginning of his career In the 1970's, he has inspired and worked with other fashion designers and fashion icons. Azzedine Alaia joined Mugler in the 70's, and in 2009, Mugler served as Artistic Director for Beyonce’s ‘I Am? World Tour’, designing all of the costumes.

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.SaveSaveSave
This is a show stopping vintage Thierry Mugler evening dress or evening coat in a black worsted wool crepe with black satin trim. We especially love the dramatic Cruella deVille style pointed stand up collar! The dress is double breasted with large black decorative buttons concealing a double row of snaps for closure. There is a 9" slit in the upper portion of the back bodice that adds even more drama and we love the pointed hemline in back! Even the sleeves have lovely detail with pointed cuffs.
There are snaps on the collar that have nothing to attach to so we aren't sure if they originally had an additional collar? There are front flap pockets and this piece has the iconic Thierry Mugler hourglass fitted silhouette. Labeled a French size 36, but we estimate this incredible coat/dress to fit a modern day US Size 2.
Please refer to the measurements for the most accurate fit.
BUST: 32"
WAIST: 26"
HIPS: 34"
LENGTH: 40"
SLEEVES: 26"
SHOULDERS: 15"
In order to best determine fit, measure yourself or a garment of a smilar style that fits you well. Compare those measurements to those on the item description.
