The Shrimpton Couture Archives

• This was Look 61 in the show and was the final look for the Fall 2003 Emanuel Ungaro runway collection
• Made under the creative direction of Giambattista Valli
  
• The details on this dress are amazing and it is a dress that really needs to be on the body to fully come to life
• The fabric is a printed stretch silk jersey combined with a silk chiffon. The print is done in soft pastel blues, purples and pinks on an ivory backdrop. Onto that are little gold glitter leafs. Gold thread is woven through the chiffon parts and then there are also added coloured rhinestones fused over the body of the dress.
• The entire dress is a stretch fabric so it does have give
• The sleeves are long and made to sit off the shoulder. They are gathered at the their tops and the ends are dramatically flared and very wide.
• The bust is gathered and then the body of the dress underneath is all gathered into the sides
• The skirt is set so that one side is completely open to the top of the hip. It wraps around and is attached underneath itself a bit so doesn't feel as open once on, but it does create a very high slit on that side that shows your leg when walking. The hem of the skirt on the other side is split so the bottom chiffon panels move freely and create a ton of movement when you are walking.
• The upper portion of the dress is lined in a stretch nylon for added support around the body and it closes with a hidden set side zipper
• There is no size tag so please review the measurements below. Because of the stretch, I have given the comfortable range of measurements when the dress is laying flat. The length will come up a bit once on the body because of the bias cut
