Y2K Expensive! Leopard Print Ruffled Bias Cut Dress

This attention-grabbing gown was designed by Expensive! in the noughties. Expensive! was a successful shop in London’s famous Oxford Circus shopping mecca during the early to mid 2000s and this dress flaunts many elements of Y2K fashion that are so sought-after today. Ruffle detailing, bold tribal-on-leopard print and frayed trims adorn the slinky bias-cut body. The pretty straps are compiled from layers of ruffled and frayed cloth. This piece is reminiscent of Roberto Cavalli’s highly collectable designs of the era. Made in Italy from a stretch-silk cloth, this glamorous gown will stand out at any event. It is in excellent vintage condition with no flaws of any note. Labelled a vintage UK 14, we have all tried this on in the Circa showroom and it can be worn by sizes UK 8-10-12 due to the bias-cut nature and stretch within the fabric. This equates to a US 4-6-8. Shown here on our model size UK 6-8 (5ft 4 in / 163 cm), this dress fit her well with room to spare.
