Straight from the closets of a couture buying socialite, comes this 2006 Roberto Cavalli runway gown. It is pure Cavalli - both sexy and jet set chic. The gown is constructed of yards and yards of luxurious thick silk custom screened with a python design. The bodice has a built in corset to give you the maximum amount of lift and fullness. The skirt cascade from there in a sheath of silk. It has subtle inverted flat pleats set around it so that you get an ton of fullness in the skirt. When you stand still these lie flat and disappear giving you a long lean silhouette. When you move they allow the fabric ot flow and love in the most dramatic way! The edges of the bodice are black patent leather. You can actually tuck in the straps and wear this as a strapless piece if you wish. The fabric is signed throughout and the craftsmanship is perfection. It's red carpet worthy and a drop dead choice for the girl who wants to make a sexy, powerful statement. Excellent condition

Spring 2024 Roberto Cavalli by Fausto Puglisi Stretch Jersey Cut Out Dress
I Have a Question
This Roberto Cavalli dress is from the recent Spring 2024 collection under the creative direction of Fausto Puglisi. A version that looks like it was cut shorter walked the runway for Look 12 on Adut. The exuberant feather print that you see on this dress in shades of pinks and coral was an integral part of the show and ran over several of the pieces. This is the kind of dress that you slip on when you want to make a statement.
The dress is easy-to-wear and very flattering once on the body. The stretch jersey fabric and brilliantly coloured feather print are the perfect combination. The lines are simple and it has that perfectly easy but very sexy feel. There is an inner body suit to hold the dress perfectly in place and you just slip it on, hook the band at the back of the waist and button the button at the top of the neck and walk out the door. Once it is on, it moves with you and highlights your curves. The dress has a deep front plunge that is held in place by that inner bodysuit. The sleeves are long and simple. When you turn there is a long open cut out for an expanse of bare skin to show. A band wraps around the waist and hooks into place at the back to hold that opening in place. Another cut out is done on each side of the dress to expose the skin above the waist band and the top of the hip. From there it falls to the floor in a column of jersey. The entire lower portion of the skirt has been set in so that it flares out and when you walk, you get a kick of fabric. You can see that in the runway video and because these were sent in a longer length to the stores, it is even better in my opinion. It is one of the dresses that you just slip into and walk out feeling like a million bucks. Very sexy on. It appears to have been worn very little at all. Excellent condition
Unlined and slips on with an inner bodysuit that hooks to close. The band at the back of the waist also hooks into place and it buttons to close at the back of the neck. The fabric has stretch and the measurements below are the comfortable range of that stretch when it's laying flat.
Sleeves: approx 24"
Shoulders: no true shoulder seam
Bust: 17-21" flat across from side seam to side seam
Waist: 12.5-14" flat across from side seam to side seam
Hips: 16-21" flat across from side seam to side seam
Total length: 60" from top of shoulder to hem

Dreamy 2004 Roberto Cavalli Pale Pink & Copper / Gold Wire Embellished Dress
I Have a Question
This Roberto Cavalli dress is from 2004 and it is gorgeous. A close version to it was worn by Jaime Tisch that year and we have included a photo so that you can get an idea of how spectacular the dress will be once on the body as it is so similar. The dress I have in the shop today was worn and loved and it is not 100% perfect but it is still wearable if you don't mind wearing something that has a bit of a distressed feel to it.
No matter how good you think that this dress looks like in photos it is even better in person and moving. The heavy copper / gold coloured metal wire and rhinestones that were used to create the pattern on the silk catch the light from every angle when you move. The dress is made out of the palest ballet pink silk. The dress is cut on the bias so it just glides over the body. It buttons down the back in a row of tightly spaced silk covered buttons and it is cut to just fall over you in a sweep of bias cut silk. The dress is suspended from the shoulders by two tiny silk straps and the front falls over the bust with a V neck plunge at the front and the back. The dress skims over the waist and hips with seams that are reminiscent of the couture dresses of the thirties. All are done so that the bias cut of the silk follows your curves and highlights the body underneath without it being too tight and fitted. Once past the hips the dress flares out as it nears the bottom and it is incredibly full. A wide panel circles all the way around the lower skirt and there is stiffened netting placed behind it so that it holds the fullness around you. When you walk or move the skirt kicks out to add beautiful movement and volume. The final perfect detail is that spectacular design made out of a combination of metal wire in a deep copper gold tone. This is set so that it curves up and off the silk for a 3D effect. Prong set rhinestones are scattered in and among the designs on the bust and around the hips. These catch the light beautifully as you move. It is just wonderful. Over all great condition with a note below
Fully lined with a pale pink silk chiffon and closes with the buttons down the back. The measurements given below are the comfortable range when the dress is laying flat. The bias cut of the dress should work on a range of sizes. On smaller frames it will drape more and be more fitted on larger frames. The very slightest yellowing to the silk here and there and around the waist area in particular. You can see it in the photos presented and I would say the photos make it look worse than it is in real life. Tagged a Cavalli XS
Bust: 14-17.5" flat across from side seam to side seam

Amazing Spring 2003 Roberto Cavalli Printed Silk Lace Up Corset with Metal Stays & Hook Front
I Have a Question
Here we have one of the most wanted pieces of vintage that you can find - one of Roberto Cavalli's iconic corsets. The ones from 2003 to 2005 seem to be the ones that everyone wants the most and I love that I have this one in its coral and ivory print. Bella Hadid was recently spotted wearing a yellow one from this collection and versions were shown on the runway and for the ad campaign that season. I love how the print add a fantastic pop of colour and this coral print is especially fantastic. The corset has inner metal stays at the front where it hooks to close, down the sides, and on either side of the laces. These are encases in the same silk as the rest of the corset and I love how he set the pattern in a different direction where it goes over top of the inner boning. It gives it the perfect amount of emphasis to where the stays are placed. To wear it the corset, you hook it at the front and then you can adjust the laces at the back for the perfect fit. I love the way it is cut on a curve on both the top and the bottom so that it fits perfectly over you and creates that sexy hourglass shape. You can pop this over almost anything to add a little amazing bit of Cavalli sexiness. Excellent condition
Unlined and closes with the five metal hooks at the front and then you adjust the fit with the laces at the back. I see a touch of very minor wear to the fabric at the end of the stays here and there and there are two tiny areas that look like they added a couple of stitches along a seam. In addition to the Cavalli label there is a hand written tag inside.
Note that I have measured this one laying open from end with the laces tightened as you see it on the mannequin. It might be able to go down a touch more through the waist and you could open the laces as much as you needed.
Top seam: 25" flat across from end to end with the laces tightened to wear their it shown on the dress form. You can adjust upwards from there by loosening the laces as needed.
Waist: 22"flat across from end to end with the laces tightened to wear their it shown on the dress form. You can adjust upwards from there by loosening the laces as needed.
Bottom seam: 28.5" flat across from end to end with the laces tightened to wear their it shown on the dress form. You can adjust upwards from there by loosening the laces as needed.
Height: 10.25" at the laces, 11" at the hooks

Amazing 2015 Roberto Cavalli Gold bead &sequin embellished silk and silk netFeather Dress
I Have a Question
This Roberto Cavalli dress is from 2015 and it is beyond gorgeous. Its twin was worn by Naomi Campbell to Fashion for Relief where she walked the runway and I am happy to have some reference photos from the show so you can see how spectacular this dress is once on the body. It is exceptional and extremely beautiful.
The dress is made from a combination of black netting and silk chiffon. The entire bodice is made from the netting and then it has a layer of that spectacular bead work applied with a bit of silk chiffon behind the bead work so that it is opaque enough to wear. The parts that are not beaded have a touch of transparency to them and I love how this plays on the curves of the body. The bead work on the dress is amazing. Heavy applied gold tube beads, gold seed beads and gold sequins are set in swirling patterns across the bodice. As a pattern runs down over the waist and the hips the colours of the sequins gradually changed to a more muted gold and then to a silver. There are prong set glass crystals in gold and clear scattered in and among the pattern. The edge of the neck and arms are lined with silver tube beads and little silver sequins. All of these embellishments catch the light from every angle and I love the depth and 3D texture that it gives the piece. The skirt is remarkable. It is in its original uncut length and has a beautiful cut. When you are standing still you still get the feeling of fullness as it widens out to the hem but when you move the skirt has incredible movement around you. The fabric is so light and airy that when you walk it creates this incredible floating sensation. As good as it looks here it only really comes to life once on. Besides the cut this is further empathized by the addition of thousands of feathers. Each is attached around the hip area with either a sequin or a little prong set crystal and then they are applied directly to the silk chiffon under that. The feathers have incredible movement when you walk and I love how the back of the dress is cut longer than the front so you have a sweeping feel behind you. It is an incredibly beautiful dress and no matter how good it looks in the photos the sensation and tactile feeling of the fabric and lightness when you have it in hand is just phenomenal. It looks to have been worn very little if at all. Excellent condition.
The embellished parts of the halter are backed with a black silk so it is opaque and the skirt has an inner silk chiffon lining. It closes with a back hidden set zipper. The occcasional bead missing here and there. Tagged a Cavalli 38.
Bust: has no fixed side seams. The front covers to approx 15-17" flat across
Waist: 12-13" flat across from side seam to side seam
Hips: to 18" flat across from side seam to side seam
Total length: 62" from neck to front hem, 70" to the longest point of the back hem
