Outstanding Fall 2000 Thierry Mugler Dusty Pink Metallic Dress w Rhinestone & Metal Collar

  • The twin of this dress in a different fabric was seen on the runway for the Fall 2000 Thierry Mugler collection.
  • It was made under the creative direction of Thierry Mugler.
  • The fabric is what makes this dress stand out. Mugler's choice of a dusty pink bias cut lame is perfect. It has enough weight so his intended drape down the front hold perfectly when you move.
  • The light catches it in different ways as it glides over you so that you shimmer and sparkle from every angle.
  • The cut has that nod back to the glamour days of Hollywood that you see in his best pieces.
  • The bodice is shaped and formed to hug the bust. It is gathered in at the centre and then drapes outward. Attached along that centre line is a thick and very heavy gold metal chain that creates the strap that wraps up behind the neck.
  • Set into each link of the strap is a large square cut glass rhinestone. It becomes like an attached piece of fine jewellry.
  • The strap curves around the neck with a clasp at the back.
  • The back dips down to reveal bar skin and I love this unexpected Flach when you turn around.
  • Below the gathering at the bust is an extra panel of fabric that falls down the centre of the dress to the hem. Around that the dress glides over your waist and hips in an easy to wear and fit way.
  • The perfect final touch is a high slit hidden in behind the front draping so that when you walk or sit you get an unexpected flash of leg. 
  • The dress is fully lined in a pink silk chiffon. Inside the bust is a full built in pale pink silk satin corset that is shaped and boned. The inner bodice closes with hook and eye and then the dress closes with a hidden set zipper over that. There are two rows of hooks on the inner bodice. Hand finishes. The chain closes with slip loop closure that is very high end. One rhinestone has been replaced at some point with a round rhinestone. It is near the back so you don't see it and it is not very obvious. Please see the photo after the label shot.
