Product: Candy stripe printed silk slip dress with wrap-effect bust, baby pink cotton ribbon waist, and contrast-panelled back skirt
Designer: Miuccia Prada
Collection: Fall-Winter 2000 (RTW)
Marked Size: IT 36 – FR 32 – UK 4 – US 0
Fit: X-Small - Small
Material: 100% silk printed in a candy-stripe pattern with hues of baby pink, pale yellow, and brown. Waistband and straps crafted from 100% cotton ribbon.
Construction: A refined reimagining of the 1920s slip dress, this knee-length piece is crafted in lightweight printed silk satin with an effortless, sensual drape. The neckline is softly constructed—cut deep into a loose, fluid V that wraps across the bust to create a perfectly plunging décolleté. The draping continues through the bodice, giving way to a baby pink cotton ribbon that cinches the waist with a delicate, feminine touch. The back echoes the V-shape of the front but is cut slightly higher for balance and wearability. The front skirt falls in a flat, A-line silhouette, while the back is pieced in expertly paneled strips - subtly alternating the direction of the candy stripe print for a visual play on movement and texture. The construction is both architectural and languid, capturing Prada’s mastery of contrast.
Closure: Concealed side zip closure
Condition: Perfect vintage condition with no flaws, complete with original label.
Please note, as with all vintage pieces sold via Another Kind, this item may display very light signs of wear, which only enhance its unique character and history.
