It is a highly collectible piece and \u003c\/span\u003eis a very special dress from the Olivier Theyskens era at Nina Ricci.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003eIn Vogue's review they stated that \u003cem\u003e\"What makes \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eOlivier Theyskens\u003c\/span\u003e such a compelling designer is the way his collections tend to riff on and grow from what came before. For resort the ex-Rochas front man continued to explore things he established at his first Nina Ricci show in March. There were more of the twisting around the body evening dresses... he pieced spirals together with patchworks of fabric for an elegant and ultimately more subtle effect than the ones produced by his fantastical fall creations.\" \u003c\/em\u003eThe said that the collection was \u003cem\u003e\"romantic, and rebellious at once, not unlike Theyskens himself.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003eThe dress is completely cut on the bias and you just slip it on to wear. It drapes over the body in a way that highlights your curves and yet is not tight fitting anywhere.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003ePanels in both a black and a deep blue are set vertically on angles over the entire length of the body. The cut has a strong nod to the bias cut couture pieces from the 1920s and 1930s.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003eBoth the front and back are set in a V at the neckline for a bit of skin to offset the use of the fabric through the rest of the dress.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003eThe dress skims beautifully over the bust, waist and hips. Once past the hip area the lower skirt begins to flare out dramatically.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003eThe back is cut to sweep around and out behind you. Yard and yards of bias cut fabric make up the lower skirt and train. This creates the most beautiful movement around you as you move. Even in the still photos from the runway you get the feel of motion in the way the dress falls over the body.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003eThe very top of each shoulder has been finished with hand dyed black feathers. These are handset over the top of the arm to fall delicate over the top of your shoulders and upper arm. I love the extra drama and movement that the feathers create.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003eThis is a spectacular and rare dress from his time at the label. All of his work is highly collectible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003eThe dress is unlined with hand finishes throughout. The dress is in its original uncut length. It has no closures and simply slips onto wear. The bias cut gives it lots of room through the body so it should fit a variety of sizes. On a smaller frame it will just drape more. I have put the comfortable range of measurements below. I see some light scuffing on the fabric. Very minor. Please see the photo after the label shot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003eTagged a vintage Nina Ricci 40.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003eExcellent condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eBust: 16-20\" flat across from side seam to side seam\u003cbr\u003eWaist: 13-18\" flat across from side seam to side seam\u003cbr\u003eHips: 16-21\" flat across from side seam to side seam\u003cbr\u003eTotal length: 67\" from top of shoulder to the shortest part of the front hem and the back extends another 19\" beyond that. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eModern Sizing Equivalent: SML-LRG\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eItem# DD5697\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eReference Photo: Resort 2008 Nina Ricci Runway.
