Gorgeous Fall 2003 Valentino Densely Beaded Bias Cut Black Silk Chiffon Dress Sequins Authentic signed gilt resin items

Authentic signed gilt resin items designed by Ugo Correani for Christian Lacroix

Each leg is cut extra wide and full so initially you think it is a maxi dress but it has the ease and comfort of a pant

The front is cut in a way that feels more simple and straight and then at the back is where you have a lot of drama

It is made from a deep chocolate toweling fabric that has an almost velour finish to it

Bodice: 15" from neck to waist with a band just under 2"

Gorgeous Fall 2003 Valentino Densely Beaded Bias Cut Black Silk Chiffon Dress Sequins Authentic signed gilt resin itemsWhen searching for the date of this dress, we found a runway piece from Fall 2003 that has very similar bead work through the skirt and was shown with a different bodice at the front, but with the same crossed over strap open cut back. I love that you can get an idea of how well it moves by the runway video. It is truly a beautiful and extraordinary dress and a gorgeous example of the work the original Mr. Valentino was doing for his self named label.
