2012 Valentino by Pierpaolo Piccioli & Maria Grazia Chiuri Tiered Ivory Lace Net Dress w Sequin & Bead Detailing

  • This dress is from the Fall 2012 Valentino collection
  • At this time both Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli were acting Creative Directors.
  • On the runway it is clearly a take off on look 51 and the included reference photo gives you an idea of how this spits on the body.
  • This is the second time I have had this dress in the shop and the first time I had it, a girl who bought its twin let me know that the original retail on this dress was over $20,000.
  • The base fabric of the dress is a fine silk tulle netting that has panels of lace laid over it that run in horizontal rows down the length of the dress.
  • The collar is set wide and is trimmed with two layers of silk chiffon. The upper bodice and sleeves are made from a netting that has little dots of embroidery mixed with beads.
  • This same beaded technique is used on the double ruffled hem that circles the lower skirt. The dress is meant to skim over you and widen out as it nears the hem.
  • The back skirt falls slightly longer than the front and there is a bit of extra fabric at the back so you get a soft sweeping of fabric behind you.
  • The body of the dress is completely covered with alternating layers of the lace mixed with tiny little rows of ivory iridescent sequins. These are all set horizontally and wrap around the entire dress. The top layer of the dress has a transparent quality to it and to make the dress wearable it is then lined in three layers of ivory silk chiffon. It is absolute beautiful.
  • Fully lined in three layers of silk chiffon. It has an inner corset that zips to close and an outer hidden side zipper. Each cuff zips to close. It appears to have never been worn.
  • There is no size type present so please go buy the measurements listed below.
