The Shrimpton Couture Archives
- Under the creative direction of Roberto Cavalli
- Made from a pale pink silk jersey that is draped over an inner nude body suit
- Deep front plunge, and the jersey gathers in to that centre point
- Two layers of the silk chiffon drape down to form the long skirt. They have a slight bit of transparency.
- High slit up the front
- Art deco feeling silver bird or snake heads at the top of each strap that are inset with tiny clear and pink rhinestones
- The back skirts are extended beyond the ham to form a train behind you
- The inner nude bodysuit is shaped and made of a stretched jersey to give you support and shape. It hooks to close.
- The dress closes at the back with a hidden set zipper
- The dress presents well but does have flaws. There are a number of small spots in yellow marks on it and one tiny snag at the back. I have photoed all of them. The dress would be close to $10,000 if it did not have these flaws. So I am sharing it in case it's something you are either comfortable to wear as is or you might find a way to hide or remove these. Happy to discuss further.
