Zippers were another important element and they were featured prominently throughout. You can see that especially on this dress. Vogue noted that \u003cem\u003e\"the essence of the collection lay in the long sheer layers that Tisci draped almost everything. It softened the silhouettes.\" \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThis was the second last look to be presented in the collection and I love that we have both the runway and video so you can see how spectacular this dress is once on the body.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eThe dress combines a printed leopard silk that has a large bold print with a nude toned mesh netting backing the entire top portion of the dress.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003eThe shoulders have light padding to hold their shape and I love that the padding is not just built into the top of the shoulder but actually lays in and behind the entire cut out peace that is curves over the shoulder and down and into the front and back of the bodice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003eThe collar is high and the bodice is cut long and straight to a dropped waist that sits at the top of the hip.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003eA wide band is wrapped around the hip and the skirt falls under that to the floor in a cascade of printed silk chiffon. The lightness of the chiffon used in the skirt allows the dress to have the beautiful movement that you see as you move.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003eAs you look closer at the dress you start to realize the remarkable details that have gone into it. The entire top bodice has hand cut, and hand stitched and applied pieces, to make up the pattern on top of the net. They are strategically placed so that you can wear very little underneath. The netting behind those cut outs let you see a glimpse of skin through it. The more generous cut through the body is offset by this transparency to give the dress an unexpected bit of sexiness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003eA chunky gold zipper runs down the front and then there are two more zippers that wrap around the wide band at the top of the hip. All three are fully functioning zippers. If you wanted an even more bare feel you could open any and have an entirely different look.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003eWith the extensive handwork that the dress has, these were produced in a very limited quantity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003eThe dress is unlined with the front zipper at the front. All of the zippers function. Extensive hand work throughout the upper bodice. It is meant to be full and easy through the body to get that very straight cut feel. It appears to have been worn very little at all.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003eTagged a Givenchy 38\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003eExcellent condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eBust: to 19\" flat across from side seam to side seam\u003cbr\u003eWaist: to 20\" flat across from side seam to side seam\u003cbr\u003eHips: to 18\" flat across from side seam to side seam\u003cbr\u003eBodice: 24\" from neck to the zippers around the hip\u003cbr\u003eTotal length: 60\" from neck to front hem and the back extends another 2\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eModern Sizing Equivalent: XS-MED\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eReference Photo\/Video: Spring 2011 Givenchy, Look 40.
