This dress was a production piece made for the shops from what we can tell and I absolutely love it. I love Clare Waight Keller's time as Creative Director for Givenchy. She designed many beautiful dresses during her time at the label and this is one of them. It is a show stopper. The fact that it is easy to wear is just bonus. This would make an amazing wedding dress for a bride or could be an alternative dress in a more extended wedding celebration. And of course it could also be worn to any fabulous and glamorous event.

The dress is amazing. It is made out of a light weight slightly off-white silk crepe through the lower part of the dress and then the bodice and those amazing sleeves are a slightly lighter weight ivory silk chiffon over an inner silk crepe base. The neckline is scooped high at the front and the bodice is cut to skim over you to the waist. The waist is more on the easy side to have a bit of a sheath feel. The hips curve out slightly for a pretty silhouette. From there it falls to the floor and the skirt widens out quite a bit by the time it reaches the hem. At the back there is extra fabric on either side of the centre seam so that you get a bit of a flare of the lower skirt there. The sleeves are the star of the show on this dress. The silk chiffon of the bodice extends out from the shoulder and from the seam at the waist into wide full sleeves that fall over your arms. They continue at the same width to their ends and this allows them to cascade down your arm in the most spectacular fashion. They are open underneath which creates tremendous movement when you move. The slightest bit of air lets them billow around you. To add weight and a little touch of glamour she has added dangling little clear beads all around the edges of the lower portion of the sleeves and around where it goes over your wrist. It is the perfect subtle touch of high glamour for the dress. The dress appears to have never been worn and it is in its original extra long supermodel length. It is absolutely amazing. Excellent condition with a minor note below.

Fully lined in an ivory silk and closes at the back with a hidden set zipper. The dress is in its original length and appears to have never been worn. I do see some slight grubbiness around the hem. Tagged a modern Givenchy 40
