This dress was sold out and wait-listed worldwide. Very few were produced.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVogue said that the show felt like \u003cem\u003e\"a long gulp of fresh air and optimism centred on something known.\"\u003c\/em\u003e They noted that \"\u003cem\u003ein technical terms Piccoli's aim for spring was casualizing the voluminous couture silhouettes he had established over the past few staggeringly well received seasons... The collection was joyful, touched on a myriad of occasions and lifted hearts.\"\u003c\/em\u003e It ended with a standing ovation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI love the bright colour that the dress has been done in. It is incredibly difficult to capture the actual colour in a photo and I think it is even better in person.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe dress is made out of an almost parachute feeling fabric that holds its shape fantastically. This combined with the brilliant seaming and cut is what gives the dress its exuberant volume and shape.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoth the front and back are deeply plunged and everything is kept perfectly in place on the body by the way that it is cut.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCircling all the way around the arms from the top of the shoulder to the seam under the bust are incredible sleeves that are made from the same fabric. The fabric has been folded over and onto itself to create a double layer. This is what gives them their ruffled volume and airy feel.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe waist has a generous cut and it is meant to feel more loose and easy. It is really a piece that is easy to fit and will work on a variety of sizes.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe skirt is spectacular. It falls from underneath the seam of the bust and expends outwards with four stacked tiers. Each tier gets progressively wider as it nears the hem and the very lowest tier falls out and behind you for a dramatic sweep of fabric. The fabric of each tier is gathered into the seam above and below it and this also helps to add to the volume. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe amount of fabric in the skirt and the lightness of the fabric is what lets it billow and move around you as you move. And it has pockets.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis is an absolutely stunning example of his time at the label and it is a very collectible piece.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe front triangles are backed with another layer of the same fabric and the skirt is unlined. It closes with a hidden set side zipper.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTagged a modern Valentino 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBust: each triangle covers to 6.5\" flat across from side to side with no true side seams\u003cbr\u003eWaist: 14-15\" flat across from side seam to side seam\u003cbr\u003eHips: open\u003cbr\u003eBodice: 12.5\" from top of shoulder to waist\u003cbr\u003eTotal length: 60\" from top of shoulder to front hem and the back extends another 11\" past that\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModern Sizing Equivalent: SML-MED\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eItem# DD5718\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAll items are thoroughly checked over before shipping.
