As we all well know, Emilio Pucci wasn't the only Italian doing great silk prints. We won't put this print in the same category as those of the Prince - it has a unique character all its own. Silk jersey in a vivid, wild, amoebic acid-trip print of royal purple, magenta, acid green grass green and black. The dress has a high collar with a v-shaped insert, the bodice is princess seamed and snug to the waist, where it attaches to a floaty silk chiffon skirt. The long sleeves are also chiffon and have a narrow single button cuff at the wrist. Invisible zippered closure in back, the dress is fully lined (except the sleeves) in purple crepe de chine. Made in Italy by La Mendola, except for a faint spot on the chiffon near the hem, its in excellent condition. Bust measures 36", waist 26, hips 42", shoulder 14", sleeve 25", length 43". sold
