2000s Valentino Pink Applique Maxi Evening Dress
Description
This is an exceptional Y2K Valentino Garavani dress, probably Cruise Collection 2000, when the eponymous designer himself was the creative director. It is a lavish concoction of cerise pink ribbon work and has an asymmetric left hand silk chiffon shoulder strap, and a left hand side zip closure, carefully concealed and topped off with a hook and eye. The outer tulle fabric comprises of all-over silk satin starflower appliqués in graduating shades of pink, with hundreds of hand-placed glass bead pistils. There are two flowing side sashes of soft-fold waves of silk georgette which envelope the dress and can also be carried on the arms. Cerise georgette also makes up the dual-layered underlay.
It is a truly spectacular, ethereal piece and the perfect showstopper for a special event. In excellent vintage condition, gently worn with no issues having been made with great skill in Italy. It would best fit up to a UK 8, or US 4, with a small bust.

Bust - 30in. ( 76cm)
Waist - 28in. ( 71cm)
