Very Rare Spring 2007 Roberto Cavalli Green Pleated Silk Chiffon Dress w Open Back & Sides
- This dress is from the Spring 2007 collection and it is a version of the blue dress that walk the runway for look 14.
- It was made under the creative direction of Roberto Cavalli.
- Rihanna wore its twin to the 2007 Grammys which is an amazing reference for you to be able to see what this looks like on the body.
- It is absolutely beautiful with its intricate pleating that runs over the entire dress. I love how the pleats are set in different directions to pick up on and highlight the cut of the dress.
- It is made out of a light silk chiffon done in the prettiest soft green colour. It feels more of a pastel green in person than how it shot here.
- The front panel is set to run across the body with all of the pleating done on an angle to follow the line of the neck line and of the bottom of the panel that wraps around the waist. Where your arm slips through there is a wide band of green silk that circles over the shoulder and around the arm.
- A second panel extends out from the side of the waist and curves across the back to meet the opening for the arm. This leaves large portions of bare skin showing all the way down one side and above and below the panel of the back. It is very sexy.
- The skirt and waist have a band of the same solid green used around the arm. The band is meant to sit a bit low slung on the hip and you can see that in the photos of Rihanna on the red carpet. If you wear it higher up the top will blouse over more.
- There is a light line of tiny stitching that runs across the lower part of the front of the bodice. This is done so the silk doesn't sit way off the body if you chose to wear the waistline up higher and it blouses over. It is a brilliantly thought out technical detail.
- There is an incredible amount of fabric in the skirt and the long vertical pleats help it to flare out. The lightness of the silk chiffon combined with the bounce of the pleat creates amazing movement when you walk.
- The bodice is lined in a green silk and there is a built-in bottom part of a bodysuit that sits just inside and under the waist band. It hooks to close and helps hold the dress in place. The skirt is lined in a matching green silk chiffon. It closes with a hidden set back zipper and you just slip your arm through the circle at the side of the top.
