I just put a little gold camisole from the same collection into the shop last week and now I also have the dress for you. Both of these pieces are absolutely exquisite and really show the charm that early product collections had and why people love collecting them. This one is a little extra special because it's twin in a print was shown on the runway and was used for the ad campaign that season. I love having these shots because it shows you just how gorgeous it is on the body. With its pretty ivory colour this might also make a fantastic dress for a bride for one of her events around her ceremony or even for the dress itself if she wants to go a non-traditional route.
The top made out of the perfect ivory coloured silk that is a beautifully light in weight. It is very soft and supple and the bias cut lets it glide over you once it is on. I love that it is lined in a matching coloured silk organza. The organza lets it stay very light in weight but it also feels beautiful once on the body. That extra layer of lining underneath also lets the dress fall over the body in the most flattering way. The straps twist and curve up and over the shoulders. They are caught up with a little band of silk at the front and then the front plunges into a V. Little pleats are gathered into two sewn rows just above a muted ivory grosgrain ribbon that is attached all the way around the waist. Under the ribbon it's skims past your waist over the hips, and then flares out prettily at the hem. The back is phenomenal. The straps twist until they meet the back and then they extend down in that same twisting way to edge the low scoop of the back. This leaves your entire back there and open. It is gorgeous. Excellent condition
Fully lined in a matching silk organza and closes at the side with a hidden set zipper. Perhaps tyhe tiniest of light snags in the silk here and there. Tagged a vintage Prada 44.
