Brilliant Spring 1999 Thierry Mugler Curving Pale Pink Dress w Front Iridescent Embellishments

  • The closest dress to this that we found is from Spring 1999 from the Couture collection. You can see the very similar shaping through the upper bodice in particular. We believe that this is be ready-to-wear a version of that.
  • It was made under the creative direction of Thierry Mugler
  • The dress is done in a pale pink that is perhaps a touch paler than how it photoed here.
  • The dress is cut with Mugler's masterful eye and attention to detail.
  • The openings for the arms are cut inwards towards the neck and the neck line is set on a beautiful curve. All the seaming on the dress is set either vertically or on a curving angle so that it enhances and highlights the curves of the body. 
  • The bust and waist are created by the shaping of those beautifully curving vertical seams. I took a shot of the seams that curve over the hips as it is is really a part of what shapes the dress. Once on this emphasizes the curves of the body.
  • It skims over the hips and then falls to the floor where the skirt widens out as it near the hem. The back hem of the skirt is cut on a slight downward curve so that it falls a little bit longer and gives a fantastic sweep at the back of the dress. 
  • The upper portion of the neck line is detailed with a double layered panel of nude mesh. Onto this is a fantastic design that combines iridescent clear tube beads with iridescent mother-of-pearl finished plastic pieces that vary in size. These are all set to curve outward slightly and are in different sizes. It is a really pretty effect.
  • It is an extraordinary dress that is rare and beautiful.
  • The dress is fully lined in the same fabric and closes with a hidden set back zipper. I see one tiny very faint mark on the fabric near the seam of the neck line. Please see the photo after the label shot. There is very minor grubbiness and a tiny bit of fading around the hem. I see a stitch at the very base of the mesh at the front where there may have been one more additional plastic piece. All of these are very minor but mentioned for accuracy. The colour is a bit more of a baby pink than how it photoed. It is in its original uncut length.
