Hollywood stars like Marilyn Monroe, Sophia Loren and even first lady Jackie Kennedy were huge fans. For all of the many attempts since to catapult the label back to the height of its glory, the days when Emilio himself oversaw the label and designed the prints will always be the most special to me.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt is made out of one of his more rare and hard to find velour or velvet finished terrycloths. I love that pieces in this fabric could of course be worn as cover-ups over bathing suits, but you could also wear it on its own as well.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach of their dresses were made of a custom designed print. On this one a beautiful classic Pucci floral print runs over the entire dress. The print combines pinks, pale, tangerines, soft greys and pops of black. A smaller floral print sits inside the contrast in borders worked throughout the print.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA zipper runs partway up the front. I love how this allows you to zip it as high or low as you wish. It ends just about the top of the thighs and is open from there to the hem allowing for a bare flash of leg to show.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt will also open up completely, so you can wear it as an almost cape kind of peace as well.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI love how the contrasting edging that is built into the print highlights the cut of the piece and adds very pretty lines on all sides of the cover-up.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe shoulders are soft and the arm holes are slightly squared off. This allows for that contrasting band a print around the top of the bust to sit perfectly all the way around you.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou can zip and hook the collar all the way up and around your neck and the piece comes with its original hood. The hood matches the rest of the cover-up and remarkably it is made so that it snaps into place along the inside of the collar so you can wear the piece with or without the hood.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt is cut more loose and generous through the body as it skims over the bust, waist and hips. It flares out as it nears the hem and this is helped by a fold over pleat that attaches in near the armholes and expands out all the way to the hem. There is a ton of fabric in it so it has great movement when you move.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThese original Pucci coverups are getting harder to find and this one is an outstanding condition and is absolutely gorgeous. The fact that it is documented to its year is just added bonus.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe piece is unlined with the more traditional terrycloth feeling side against the body. It closes with a front metal zipper. I do see some small discolouration here and there and there is some minor fading and grubbiness to the collar. I see some minor seam separation and a tiny repair where the arm hole fits into the bust at the front. I have taken several photos so please review the the ones after the label shot. This is not unusual for pieces from this period and in this fabric because they were worn and loved. I think it's still an outstanding condition. The printed part of the fabric is signed throughout. Hand finishes throughout. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTagged a vintage Pucci 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat condition\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eBust: to 19\" flat across from side seam to side seam\u003cbr\u003eWaist-hips: open\u003cbr\u003eTotal length: 56\" from the neck at the seam under the 2\" collar to hem.
