About the Item

This rare and arresting midi dress is a striking example of early 2000s European fashion, attributed to the iconic French label Plein Sud, renowned for its architectural silhouettes and body-conscious designs. Under the visionary direction of Fayçal Amor, Plein Sud redefined sensual minimalism through precise tailoring and sculptural details-a legacy clearly reflected in this piece. Crafted from a luxurious ivory jersey fabric with stretch, the dress clings to the body with fluid grace while offering refined structure. A network of raised, tubular seamwork wraps around the torso and hips in a grid-like configuration, contouring the female form with avant-garde elegance and anatomical precision. This particular design is likely part of Plein Sud's Spring/Summer 2004 "La Dolce Vita" collection, a line that celebrated sensual femininity with Mediterranean glamour and sharply cut silhouettes. The seamwork evokes both modernist geometry and vintage corsetry-blending past and future into a uniquely timeless creation. The price listed is the final price. Any duties or customs charges are already included and remain entirely our responsibility, so you will not incur any additional costs. Shipping separately to be agreed upon. Please note: The measurements you find are flat measurements of the dress. To ensure the right fit, we suggest trying on a similar garment and comparing its measurements to ours.
