RARE Betsey Johnson | Temari Print Chiffon Slip Dress | Y2K 2001 Collector VTG

This is a rare vintage Betsey Johnson New York dress, most likely from the Spring/Summer 2001 boutique collection. It features a distinctive temari-inspired Japanese orb print in soft pastel tones of pink, green, and blue — a motif symbolizing good fortune and celebration that was produced only in Betsey's very limited runs. Made from lightweight crinkled chiffon on a bias-cut silhouette, the dress has a ruffled neckline and hem, spaghetti straps, and a classic slip-dress shape. This combination of design elements is iconic of Betsey Johnson's late-1990s to early-2000s work and represents one of her most collectible periods. Pieces with this print and construction rarely appear on the market.
