Oh! Jackie is delighted to offer this sensual Giorgio Armani maxi dress from the designer's Spring/Summer 1997 collection. I am so pleased to have found runway and ad campaign documentation of it – Nadja Auermann photographed by Peter Lindbergh wearing the twin of this dress – so that you can see how fabulous it is on an actual body. A white version of the design was sported by Mira Sorvino who attended the Cannes Film Festival 1997 together with Giorgio Armani. Please see the reference pictures after the label shot. The dress is made in Italy from a beautiful chocolate-coloured floral swirl design jacquard rayon fabric and features a V-neck with spaghetti straps and waist-enhancing cut-out detailing to the sides. A daring high center slit allows to show off your legs when you move. On the runway a version of this dress was presented with a pair of semitransparent wide-leg trousers underneath which looks wonderful and is the perfect solution if you would like to have the look less revealing. Center stage definitely occupies the dress's back view with its tiny straps creating a deep V and leaving your entire back bare. Fully lined the design closes with a painted metal and nylon zip on the left side. Two tiny buttons bring the two straps together at the center back. Labelled "Giorgio Armani – A Milano Borgonuovo 21 – Made in Italy" and tagged an Italian vintage size 44. Excellent vintage condition. Appears unworn. Bust: 88 cm – 34.65" Waist: 74 cm – 29.13" Hips: 100 cm – 39.37" Slit Length: 73 cm – 28.74" Length: 147 cm – 57.87" Measurements are taken flat and then doubled for bust, waist and hips.
