2023 Giambattista Valli Runway Bow Bodice White Dress with Tulle Skirt

About the Item

This highly romantic gown walked the runway as look 34 of 58 in Giambattista Valli’s Spring 2023 presentation. For this collection, Valli took inspiration from the flower markets, architecture and landscapes of Asia, alongside details from works by 15th-century Italian painter Botticelli. Taking their lead from the brand’s couture tendencies - glitzy detailing and voluminous silhouettes - the brand’s ready-to-wear designs combine a spotlight-stealing nature with innate wearability. This dress is composed of two parts. The skirt is classic Giambattista Valli; a thick layer of tulle creates volume and is topped with a lighter voile, which is delicately embroidered all-over with shimmering gold metallic lurex leaves. The top is crafted from matte cream silk. It forms a cage-like structure across the bust which disappears into two straps which cross over across the open back. The front is christened with two large floppy silk bows. This dress fastens at the back of the skirt with a hidden tonal zip and hook-and-eye clasp. Inside, it is fully lined with silk and there is a built-in underwired bra for modesty. This piece is in excellent condition and has its original tags attached. The top is 100% Silk and the skirt is 100% Polyamide. It is labelled an Italian 44, UK 12 or US 8 but sizes vary between brands so please double-check our measurements below. The fabric has no stretch and the bra cups are a bit on the small size. In our opinion this is a better fit for sizes UK 10 or US 6. MEASUREMENTS BUST - 34 in. (86 cm) WAIST - 31 in. (79 cm) HIP - 40 in. (102 cm) LENGTH - 51 in. (130 cm)
