Product: Embellished metal & crystal mini dress with built in corset & open back
Designer: Tommaso Aquilano & Roberto Rimondi
Collection: Spring-Summer 2008 (RTW)
Marked Size: IT 40 - FR 36 - UK 8
Fit: Small - Medium
Material: Embellished silk base layered with crystals, beads, and flat silver metal spangles
Construction: Structured mini dress with sculpted corseted bodice and exposed open back. Fastened with two thick elasticated bandage-style straps reinforced by oversized metal hook closures. The fabric is richly detailed with hand-applied embellishments: rows of crystals in dusty lilac & and silver over a silk base, overlaid with flat silver metal spangles sewn down in a chainmail-style grid for a mirrored, armour-like effect. Internal boning and corsetry ensure a secure and sculpted fit.
Styling & Versatility: This is a rare mini-length variation of the runway dress, which was shown in a longer, knee-length cut. Offers dramatic contrast between sculptural embellishment and exposed skin. Ideal for red carpet, editorial, or high-impact evening wear
Closure: Two wide elastic straps at back with large silver hook fastenings
Condition: Perfect vintage condition with no flaws, complete with original label.
