Prettiest Pre-Fall 2016 Etro by Veronica Etro Printed Silk Chiffon Dress w Embroidered & Beaded Detailing

  • This dress is from 2016 and we believe it is from the Pre-fall Collection based on a very similar dress that we have shared here in a different colour way.
  • It was made under the creative direction of Veronica Etro
  • Vogue said of the collection that "For her latest collection, Veronica Etro didn’t disappoint, as she was inspired by the work of the early-20th-century French painter Henri Matisse.Like the many divergent moods of Matisse, the designer’s choices of print were similarly flexible and wide. The lineup alternated between the organic and the geometric."
  • Tamsin Egerton wore its twin that season in a different colour way letting you see how fantastic it is once on the body.
  • The dress is made out of a bias cut silk that is virtually weightless. The silk is covered in a beautiful paisley print that covers the entire dress. The colours are all done in soft pastels on a deep blue backdrop and it is just one of the prettiest things. 
  • The shoulders are soft and the front comes down in a low V. The neck line is slightly gathered for a little added detail and the V stops at the peak of the band around the waist.
  • The sleeves are incredible. Each is wide and done in a beautiful balloon cut. At the wrist there is a tie that loops around so you can cinch in the wrist as much as you want, and then the silk forms are ruffle under that.
  • It skims over the bust to a band at the waist that peaks upwards at the front. An added panel has been beautifully embroidered in rich red, purples and blues. It is then detailed with chain stitching around its edge, little bands of black tube beads mixed with muted gold beads.
  • From there, it curves over the hips and there is an amount of fabric in the skirt. It is in its original uncut length and when you move, it moves beautifully around you.
  • The dress is fully lined in a purple-blue silk, except for sleeves which are online. It closes with a hidden set back zipper and you tie the ties on the wrist. It appears to have been worn very little if at all and has its original My Theresa tag still attached at one wrist.
