Alberta Ferretti Silk mini dress

Description

ALBERTA FERRETTI Painterly Colorful Silk Chiffon Mini Tent Dress This mini tent dress from Alberta Ferretti features a vividly colorful silk fabric in a very painterly design. It reminded me of Van Gogh’s Starry Night, while the brushstrokes reminded our photographer of Edvard Munch’s The Scream (it took me a while, but I finally got it). The front of the dress is silk chiffon gathered at a neckline that is comprised of a double layer of tulle embellised with round black beads. The back of the dress is a silk and wool blend without gathers that emphasizes the gorgeous pattern. The chiffon fabric is 100% silk, and the back fabric is 73% wool and 27% silk (Silk and wool blends are one of my favorite fabrics – the wool gives the fabric body, and the silk gives it sheen.) The black rayon lining is not full or gathered, but is more like a regular fitted dress, so that’s where we took the measurements. Labeled Italian size 42 and US size 6. Please refer to the measurements for the best guidance regarding actual size* DRESS MEASUREMENTS – Underarm chest measurement is 36.5″” – Waist is 36″” – Hips measure 38″” – Length is 33″” down center back. CONDITION Excellent condition with no apparent flaws.
