Absolutely fabulous dated Valentino wrap top in a light cotton knit. I love the bright, vivid stripes of color in happy summer hues! It plunges quite low if you leave it tied looser or you can cinch tighter so its not quite so scandalous. I adore the multi colored tassels that finish each end! So wonderful! Excellent, appears unworn condition.
Unlined and wraps and ties.
Approx 15" flat across from side seam to side seam from the arms down though it is very adjustable and being knit has some stretch
Length: 18" from neck to hem
Modern Sizing Equivalent: XS- SM

- Scattered over the tulle of the entire dress are little combination of a silver sequin with a little clear bead topping the sequin. These catch the light from every angle and make the entire dress glitter in a pretty and subtle way.
- The dress is suspended from tiny net straps that curve up and over each shoulder. The front scoops across and the the upper back is bare.
- He has attached a panel of the netting all the way around the neck line and as it curves towards the back, it gets wider so it drapes down the sides and just passed the waist at the back. It is such a pretty detail.

Under the top layer, there are three more layers of netting in the middle of the three layers has a double hem that helps hold the volume even more. Inside all of that is the opaque silk layer.

Elaborate Spring 2019 Valentino by Pierpaolo Piccioli Black Net Skirt w Hand Beading & Silk Chiffon Insets
I Have a Question
- This skirt is a production piece for the shops from the Spring 2019 collection.
- It was made under the creative direction of Pierpaolo Piccioli.
- On the runway a dress shown for Look 60 had similar a beaded design over its surface. We have added that runway reference for you here.
- Vogue succinctly said that "In a season when there’s been so much talk about the appreciation of couture dressmaking and craft skills, Piccioli just took it to the ultimate. It was as accomplished, as complexly cut—and as simple as that."
- The high level of craft put into a hand embroidered and beaded piece like this is evident in the price tag. The original cost of the skirt was £12,285.
- The skirt is outstanding and is beautiful to see in person. There is an inner silk skirt that snaps into place around the inner band of the waist. I love that this gives you the choice to wear the skirt fully opaque, or you can snap the lining out and have the skirt be more transparent.
- Over the inner lining is a layer of black netting and then the top layer combines tulle with insets of a light grey and deep dusty blue grey silk chiffon. Silver metallic thread and tiny silver beads run in swirling designs over the entire skirt. And if you look carefully, you see that there is one unexpected little pink pop of silk chiffon. I love that unexpected detail.
- The waist is banded with a black grosgrain that folds inwards. The inner skirt snaps onto that band so that the snaps are hidden from view.
- The skirt falls from there and has quite a bit of room through the hips so it is an easy fit. It widens out as it nears the hem. There is quite a lot of fabric in the skirt and it moves beautifully around you when you move.
- The black silk lining snaps into place as described above and both the lining and outer skirt have a zipper at the side. Without the lining snapped in the skirt has a touch of transparency. It appears to have been worn very little if at all.
