Vintage Ann Hobbs for Cattiva | Black Coin-Studded Knit Dress | Size Small
A little armor. A lot of attitude. This striking vintage Ann Hobbs for Cattiva dress keeps the silhouette simple and lets the details do all the talking: a fitted black sleeveless knit scattered with gold-tone medallions and small round studs. The larger, coin-inspired ornaments feature a raised portrait design, giving the dress the effect of jewelry worked directly into the garment.
The neckline is a clean, rounded scoop, with broad tank-style straps, a gently shaped waist, and a straight, close-fitting skirt. Turn it around and the back is deliberately unadorned—an understated counterpoint to the gleaming front.

Curator’s Note
Some dresses arrive fully accessorized. The coin-like ornamentation gives this one a bold, almost talismanic character, while the uncomplicated silhouette keeps it from feeling theatrical. Throw a black leather motorcycle jacket over it and ground the gold medallions with flat combat boots for an easy, downtown look—or strip everything else back for evening. Let the dress be the statement.
