• This dress is from 2012 and it was a limited release piece.
• It was made under the creative direction of Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana.
• The twin of this dress was worn by Kylie Minogue and I love that the reference photos show how amazing this one is on. We were told that these were made in extremely limited quantities on a special order basis only so very few exist.
• Dolce and Gabbana was launched in 1985 by founders Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana. By the 1990s they had open their own boutiques and in 1993 Madonna chose them for her Girlie Show tour and they gained world wide recognition. They are known for their dramatic designs that are heavily inspired by their Sicilian heritage.
• The dress that is incredibly beautiful. It is made from a pale nude silk tulle net that has a touch of a pink undertone to it. This is layered over inner layers of more tulle, lace netting and silk.
• The bodice is strapless and has a heavy application of hand cut out flowers hand applied to the tulle. Under that are more flowers that are scattered over the entire dress from there all the way to the hem.
• Running down the centre of the bodice are a cluster of soft silk chiffon flowers that add a beautiful detail. Small versions of these are also worked into the design over the top layer of the entire dress.
• The top layer of tulle is cut to be full all the way around you. More layers sit under that. At the back it is cut longer so you get a beautiful sweeping effect behind you and it adds incredible movement as you move. 
• Under the top layers of netting is an inner dress that has a dotted lace finish. I love the effect of this that it gives the dress. Under that layer are still more layers. The multiple layering creates a beautiful texture as they float over each other and they also help to give the dress its structure so that it holds the shape around you once on.
• The bodice is strapless and cut on a soft curve across the neckline. There is a built in boned corset on the inside for shape and to hold the dress in place on you. 
• It is an incredibly beautiful and romantic dress.
• The dress is fully lined in a soft nude silk. The innermost layer of stretch silk goes to just above the knee. It closes with a back zipper and then the tulle layer snaps over that to hide the zipper. Inside the bodice is a cupped and boned corset. I see one vertical repair in the tulle of the skirt at the back otherwise it appears to have been worn very little if at all.

• Note that due to new regulations this set can only ship to a Canadian address. If you need further assistance on this please get in touch.
• The twin of this set walked the runway for the Resort 2018 Prada collection as Look 23.
• It was made under the creative direction of Miuccia Prada.
• The set is very well documented. Not only did its twin appear on the runway that season but it was used for the ad campaign, seen on red carpets, and was shot for editorials.
• Both pieces are made from a pale pink crepe with a soft grey design printed over it that incorporates the word Prada in several places.
  
• The tunic has a high collar and the shoulders are soft. The sleeves are long and each has a decadent pale pink feather cuff. I love that the colour of the feathers has been dyed to the same colour as the silk ribbon that sits at the hem of the tunic above the metal finish.
• The metal mesh finish that edges the bottom of the tunic is fantastic. It falls at different lengths all the way around you and is linked together so has pretty movement as you move.
• The fit through the body of the tunic is meant to skim in an almost tubular line from shoulder to hem.
• The pants have a banded waist and flat front. They curve over the hips and then fall in a more wide leg cut that is slightly cropped in length. I love that the width of the legs give them a touch of movement around you as you walk.
• At the bottom of the hem there is a little band of black silk and then a metal mesh circles each hem. The mesh here is different from the mesh on the tunic. It is more compact and tightly done. I have taken close-ups of both and they are both fantastic.
• Pin-tuck detailing creates a very pretty and detailed finish on both the tunic and the pant and it is integral to the design. It also helps a bit of structure to hold the shape of the tunic and pants.
• The perfect finish is the amazing custom print that covers both pieces so elaborately. The combination of the pale pink backdrop and those soft tones of grey are phenomenal.
  
• This is a rare complete set and highly collectible.
• Both pieces are unlined. The tunic closes with a hidden set back zipper and the pants with a hidden set side zipper. On the top I see one tiny faint spot on the top of one sleeve and perhaps the slightest bit of grubbiness inside the collar of the collar. Both pieces have their original hang tag.
• The tunic is tagged a modern Prada 40 and the pants a 42S.
• Excellent condition

• .This dress dates to the 1960s and is an unlabelled piece by no specific designer.
• This is the type of piece you will only ever find in vintage.
• The bodice is strapless and completely covered in hand cut silk chiffon flower petals that are combined with little drops of pale pink flowers strung from little hand cut green 'leaf' bases. It is very pretty.
• All of the embellishment covering the bodice was done and applied by hand.
• The skirt is made from a pale pink silk chiffon and falls outward from just under the bust on a pretty line to the floor. Soft folds gather it in under the bust with more gathers placed towards the sides. 
• Underneath the top silk layer is an attached inner silk dress made out of a slightly deeper pink silk layered with a silk chiffon over top of it. This inner layer makes it opaque enough to wear. 
• Built inside the bodice is a cupped and boned inner support that holds the dress in place. 
• It is very pretty and romantic in feel.
• The dress is fully lined in silk and closes with two back zippers. There is an inner waist stay that hooks to close. I see some faint marks on the bottom of the skirt and some minor thinning of the silk near the hem here and there. The cut flowers on the bodice have darkened slightly with age I think. Please see the photos after the label shot and know that the dress is in good-great condition but it is not perfect. The colour is a bit paler pink in person than how it shot.
• There is no size tag present. Please go by the measurements listed below.
