Runway Spring 2013 Emilio Pucci by Peter Dundas Look 41 White Silk Halter Dress w Pockets

• This is the second time that I have had this dress in the shop and I still love it as much now as I did then.
• The twin of this dress walked the runway for Look 41 for the Spring 2013 collection.
• Vogue said of the Collection; "When Peter Dundas inherited this historic Florentine house—famous since the 1960s for its kaleidoscopic prints—he made reworked archival patterns a major part of his story line. Last season and this one, though, he's started inching away from them. These days, the label is just as well known for Dundas' confident, louche brand of glamour as it once was for its founder's graphic swirls and geometries." 
• It was one of three white dresses that close the show before the final red look. 
• The dress is made out of a light silk that is light in weight but just heavy enough to keep the structure. It is very close to a true white.
• The front neckline is done in a halter style with the upper part above the bust line finished an a white netting that has a secondary abstract print work through it. This allows you to see the skin underneath. The front is gathered over the breasts almost like a bandeau and seamed in the centre.
• Under that is an open cut out for a bit more skin to show.
• The dress curves in to follow the waist under that and and skims over the hips.
• The skirt falls to the floor and widens out quite a bit as it nears the hem. This gives the dress incredible movement when you walk and you get a sense of that in the runway video.
• I love the loose slightly draped pockets that sit on each hip.
• The back is mostly open with a criss cross of straps and an open cut out between the waist and the back strap.
• Decorative frog knots sit at the low waist for added detail.
• The dress is fully lined through the bodice and the skirt is unlined. It closes at the side with a hidden set zipper. Light boning and padding through the bodice.
• Because the upper body is lined and padded when it is off the body it feels like the fabric is a touch darker as it is completely opaque. Once on its fine and the lining is needed
• Tagged a modern Pucci IT42, FR38, US8, UK10.
• Excellent condition with some faint marks here and there around the hem.
