All the Rappi dresses I have owned have been exceptional, as is this particular example. Thanks to Couture Allure Vintage Fashion Blog I discovered that the driving force behind the label was Viennese-born, Syd Rappaport. She was noted for her high end ready-to-wear cocktail and evening fashions on par with Ceil Chapman and Malcolm Star. Rappaport largely concentrated on youthful designs with an emphasis on quality and sophistication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"p1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #8e7cc3;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis dress and matching stole are in excellent condition for their age.  No flaws that I can see.  Cleaned and ready to wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlease note that these are vintage items that have been used and loved over the years, As such, they may display slight evidence of their age.
