Y2K Roberto Cavalli Handkerchief Hem Silk Dress
Description
This flamboyant Roberto Cavalli dress dates back to the late 2000s. Many signatures of Y2K fashion and of this collectable brand are present; animal prints, handkerchief hemlines, metallic threads and contrasting prints. Cut from sheer silk-chiffon with glittering gold thread, clashing patterns of floral, Aztec-inspired and leopard prints abound. The extreme handkerchief hem falls from a mini-dress to floor-sweeping length, swirling around the wearer as they walk. This gown has spaghetti straps and one theatrical ruffled shoulder with cut-out detailing at the rear.
Offered in excellent vintage condition, this stunning dress has no flaws of any note. The composition label states that this piece is 91% Silk, 9% Polyester. Made in Italy and a size Italian 40, our model is a UK 6-8, 5' 4" or 163 cm and this had room to spare so the dress may suit a size up too.
