Product: Strapless black felted wool ruffle A-line midi dress with internal corset and dramatic tiered tulle petticoat
Designer: Marc Jacobs
Collection: Fall-Winter 2008 (RTW)
Size: FR 36/38 – UK 8/10 – US 4/6
Fit: X-Small - Small
Material:
Outer: 100% Felted Wool
Lining: Cream silk-blend
Petticoat: Multi-layer black tulle
Details: Crafted from structured black felted wool, the dress features an internal corset for a secure, contoured fit and a sculpted strapless bodice with an asymmetric ruffle neckline. The A-line skirt falls to the knee with precision tailoring, while the back reveals a voluminous tiered tulle petticoat cascading to ankle length — creating a striking silhouette from all angles.
Closure: Concealed side silver-tone metal zipper; internal corset fastens with traditional hook and eye closure
Styling Notes: On the runway, the dress was styled with minimal yet dramatic accessories, aligning with Jacobs' exploration of sculptural volume and historical silhouettes in FW08. The contrast between tailored structure and soft petticoat texture exemplifies the collection’s romanticism-meets-modernity theme.
